Oh dear, I hadn’t realised it had been so long since I updated here. Lots has happened in the last month so I will try and keep it (relatively) brief.
Soon after my last post I went on a trip with a local history group down to the Warner Textiles Archives in Braintree, Essex. If you’re [...]

Free-IQTest.net – IQ Test
I’m not convinced by this one. The test was relatively short and there were far too many pages of adverts and “sign up for a chance to win” pages to trawl though before you actually get your results for my liking. There’s only one point where you have to say yes [...]

This morning I was officially diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, sometimes known as Myalgic Encephalomyelitis or Encephalopathy. Things have been pretty bad for me since I had a nasty flu-like viral infection several months ago.

So, what started me on my creative journey?
