When trying to woo the birds, it's best
To leave your shoes outside the nest.

About Me
I live with my husband in Devizes in Wiltshire where I spend my time writing, reading, riding (I am the lucky owner of a beautiful horse, Blue), and keeping up with my four children and an increasing number of small grandchildren (eight so far). I was for many years a nurse and a Relate counsellor. I have taught creative writing both at a local college and a prison, and I review a wide variety of items - including books - for the Amazon Vine programme.I write to death row prisoners in America, being a life-long opponent jof the death penalty. And I spend too much time blogging..
My Books
Below are the books I have written.
Ruth Robinson's Year of Miracles
Women Behaving Badly
Dead Ernest
Cassandra's Secret

Love this, brief and witty!
ReplyDeleteA tip: take your socks off too. Leaving them on reeks (yikes) of an intention to leave soon.
Oh, is that what he's doing? Now it makes perfect sense. I wondered about those shoes...
