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
That is funny but it's only play. I went to see my friend Rambo today. He was standing eating hay with a giant bucket of water on the floor of his loose box. I said Oh Dear Rambo have you trashed your auto drinker again. He sucked a good gallon of water from the giant bucket then blew it out all over, not content with soaking me through he reared and attempted to strike the auto drinker from the wall with his great big feet. Naughty, naughty horse. He does events quite well and is just back from Hungary. He is called Rum and Coke when on an outing. It gives folk a false sense of security. He is worse than my dogs but he does watch what he is doing when they are about.
ReplyDeleteIt's just fun, animals do have a sense of fun.
PS. A few weeks ago he was desperate to get out into the paddocks. I said to the little girl who wanted to help, leave him to me cos he has to have a chefney bit in whilst being led. She said I know and whilst she was poking it in his mouth he whirled her through 180° and she hit the wall breathless. He was very impressed with this new trick and has to be warned of the consequences of a repetition. ( I threaten them all with a Pedigree Chum can.)
DeleteI’ll have to look that horse up, Adrian. There was a stallion who trapped the vet in his manger for some time, and the poor man had to wait to be rescued. Quirky things, horses.
DeleteHAHAHAha!
ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoyed it, Kate!
DeleteWell, that made me laugh ! I have a yorkie who is not averse to the odd " attack" if she doesn't want to do what I want her to ! She is under the table now and started yapping when she heard the video! She belongs to a very elderly ( 89) lady, but lives with us. J has her during the day for company . I didn't have the training of her when a pup! My schnauzer would never be like that!
ReplyDeleteI’m not really a dog person, and that kind really isn’t my thing. But it did make me laugh.
DeletePs. I am halfway through " Women behaving badly" and am beginning to think that I never read it before ! Might have bought it for the Kindle app and then forgotten it ! Nothing is " ringing bells", but I am definitely enjoying it.
ReplyDeleteFrances, it was first published as Basic Theology for Fallen Women, but my new publisher didn’t like th title. I think she was right. I’m so sorry if you’ve read it before!
DeleteDon't be sorry...I am 66% through it and if I have read it before, I am thoroughly enjoying it again ! I could probably read it again in a couple of years and not remember it from this time !!
Deleteps. It is the Basic Theology title !
DeleteI don't 'do' domestic pets: certainly not dogs.
