I'm slightly jaded after a super weekend away in London. We ventured south for my sister-in-law's 50th birthday party which she held in style at a lovely little Italian restaurant around the corner from where they live in Marylebone. They already had a houseful of guests for the celebrations so we stayed at The Frontline Club with its gorgeous rooms and exceptionally tasteful bathrooms. Lovely! We were at the very top of the building so had a slightly quirky view over the chimneys and rooftops of London. Very Mary Poppins!

The weather in London was horribly cold, and we had little inclination to do any of the usual touristy stuff because, well (a) we'd done it all before, and (b) we had very little time, but we did have a little bit of a wander, and I was shocked at the amount of scaffolding wrapped around Big Ben! Apparently, it will look like this until 2021! I know the repairs have to be done but I felt sad not to see it.

It was great to see our family, but our weekend away meant I got very little writing done. What I do need to mention is that after much encouragement from Kate Walker - having attended her recent writing weekend in Keele - I've submitted the first three chapters of my new story - Signed, Sealed and Delivered of Twins - to Harlequin M&B.
So, cue much biting of fingernails and gnashing of teeth over the next couple of months until I hear from M&B.
Keep your fingers crossed.
Keep your fingers crossed.
Until next time
