This book a little different to my other one, being more of the horror genre. Continue reading Monsters on the Plot…the first spread.

This is the cover of my other lockdown book, and is dedicated to fellow plotters. I’d like to say that this cover image shows my own plot but I don’t have the luxury of the shed. It’s a children’s book and as with my other one the proceeds of the sale of the books go to charity. Longfield looks after people at the other end of life and is a local charity to me here in Gloucestershire. They have shops in Cheltenham and Stroud where you can buy copies of the books. They are quite small, the size of a … Continue reading Monsters on the Plot…

I think it was in the late 60s or early 70s when Bird’s Eye ( what sort of name is that for a food producer? ) introduced us all to the fish finger. It was a great idea and a way of getting kids to eat fish. Put some bearded old grandad on the telly dressed as a sailor and the recipe is a success. This is spread number 8 from my book for small people called ” We love you more than…” I have asked my grandchildren if fish have fingers but they just wave me away and get … Continue reading When did fish get fingers?

The book is intended for small children and this is spread number 3, or perhaps we could call it cheese spread. Here in Gloucestershire they have been known to roll a cheese down and extermely steep hill. I’ve seen this hill and to chase a cheese down it is verging on the suicidal. The cheeses chosen for the event are, I think, Double Gloucester, made by Mrs Smart out at Churcham on the road to Ross on Wye. Why chase a cheese down a hill? Well. why not. Buy this book and all the proceeds go to Longfield. click on … Continue reading We love you more than cheese.

I was asked what my favourite meal was the other day and part of it would have been apple pie and custard, but not the fancy home made stuff with actual eggs in it, I like the original Bird’s custard that was yellow powder in a tin that made up into a yellow liquid gold addition to any pie. Sweet pie that is, not pork. This is the second spread of my book…buy it from here or from the Longfield … Continue reading We love you more than…
