Spring has sprung... almost!

It looks like spring may finally be here after a false start and that horrible white stuff... snow!  Surely it’s got to warm up soon?!

A nice thing about spring is you start thinking about/planning your summer holiday and this year is a big birthday, so I’ve decided to do something I’ve always wanted to - visit Dracula’s castles in Transylvania.  I usually book and plan everything, but this time I thought I’d let someone else do it, and we are going on a coach tour - never been on one before, but so looking forward to it.  Also hoping it will inspire some story writing!

And talking of stories, I’ve been plotting and plodding along with my current one - the supernatural love(ish) story, and more characters have been making an appearance, including a vicar who like parkour and running, and two chalk and cheese sisters, one of which runs a cafe that only serves chocolate cakes and confections - it’s called the “Chocolate Teapot”!

Well, better get on with the writing, although sometimes it ends up half thinking/researching and half writing, but that’s better than nothing...

Ooh, before I go, last time my post had the title “Do cyber wolves dream of electric sheep?” and I wondered where the line had come from.  Well, apparently the actual quote is “Do androids dream of electric sheep?” - it’s a story title by Philip K Dick which turned into Bladerunner, so no wonder it sounded familiar, but not quite!

More in a bit...
