Hello, and thank you for visiting my site. I hope that you'll return often and always find something of interest about my world and what inspires me to pick up a pen. (This is a figure of speech, unfortunately. My handwriting is terrible!) Here's what I've been up to recently...

RWG’s pre-Christmas event

This being the 40th anniversary year of Ripon Writers’ Group, we were particularly pleased to welcome back Kathleen, now an honorary member, who has been in the Group almost from the start. She’s never been one to put herself forward, but you can just spot her third from the left with other long-term members.

In addition to memories of times past for RWG and a variety of Christmas readings, we had a challenging quiz,

the presentation of the President’s Cup by Joe – whose late wife Daphne founded the Group – 

a Secret Santa and a substantial buffet. 

I think it’s fair to say that a good time was had by all.
