I don’t claim to be an expert in anything but the contents of my own head and an awful lot of creative seeds… Here at the Beach Hut we make a real effort to rise above negativity that can impact day to day, because we are about being bigger than what life throws at usContinue reading “Keep watering your garden”

Girl Interrupted
I was a little taken aback recently. It was just a few words, but you know how they can be. Little bowling balls aimed in the right direction striking misery into our well crafted lives and crushing our faith and confidence. Same things different decade same hope that being would be enough. Only difference nowContinue reading “Girl Interrupted”
For Z
The last few weeks, a procedure on my hand has meant a rest from all things requiring fingers and thumbs…which has limited my writing. Thankfully it is the singing and eating season so other bits of you get to be spoilt .The Christmas roller-coaster has begun in a joyful way with old and new friendships,Continue reading “For Z”
Draw
Recently I started to go to an art class, as a member and not as a teacher. It is wonderful. Not only are the people running it wonderfully easy and friendly, open to you creating your own masterpiece instead of drawing their set-up; but the class members are as easy to be in a roomContinue reading “Draw”

We imagine ourselves unable to do this massively hard thing which encompasses our genius inContinue reading “The Blank Page”
Fire in your belly..
Lat week my delightful handy man was telling me a story. For Christmas last year he had been given a tin of seeds. They were chilli seeds and he had never gardened before. But he grew them anyway, and regaled to me the tale of the compost, the splitting of seedlings and the abundance ofContinue reading “Fire in your belly..”
The Holy Grail
Do you ever wonder what the meaning of life is? A few things I’ve noticed along the way seem to end up in the same spot. Here… Right back where you started This came about recently when my daughter was watching a series of life hacks for kids. It is a great idea, and theContinue reading “The Holy Grail”
The Beach Hut Lady
I have finished the beach hut. My friend Margaret came the other day and helped with the high bits. Other friends have also helped me make furniture, paint windows and do the stripey bits. I do sections, stop when my hands hurt too badly, and begin the next day again. This is the room IContinue reading “The Beach Hut Lady”
