1) It's been an incredible summer and I've been making the most of my daughter's last few weeks in Jersey before she goes off to start uni - gulp!
2) Also, it's been such glorious weather that we've made the most of it by being outside as much as possible,
3) I've finished the first draft of a new book - LOVED writing it - it's a little different to anything else I've written,
4) I've been job hunting,
5) I've also been away on a cruise to the Mediterranean for the past ten days, visiting Lisbon, Cartagena, Gibraltar, Barcelona, Monte Carlo and Rome. I had a surreal moment as we were embarking when Rob picked up a Writers' Forum magazine they were giving away (together with other business mags) and spotted an interview I'd done with Sally Quilford on page 62! Then there was a sad announcement from the Captain when he told us that Sir David Frost had died on-board the ship, however, we did have a memorable trip for other reasons, here are a few pics...
This is the Queen Elizabeth in Monte Carlo:
Ponte Vecchio in Florence - a place I've always longed to visit and wasn't disappointed.
We and visited the Park Guell and saw this house by Gaudi (as well as others),
This is my 601st blog post - I was stunned to make this discovery - and I'll try not to take so long to post the 602nd one. I hope you had an incredible summer too, now here's to a magical autumn...

Ooh, new-look blog. I like it.
Gorgeous photos. It looks like you had a lovely time.
Of course you had to spend time with your daughter and enjoy the sunshine, Debs! Glad you had such a great cruise - and well done on getting the first draft finished on your novel.
Sounds like a wonderful summer and cruise!!!

Anita - I LOVED Florence and am sure I could live in Italy!
Thanks, I think my daughter is going to have a fantastic time at university and I'll slowly get used to not having her around on a daily basis.
The Writers' Forum mag piece was such a lovely surprise! x
Oops-apostrophe in the wrong place...meant Writers' Forum of course..! Must get a copy so I can read your interview.x
Happy 601st post! Hope your daughter has settled in well.
Ah, Debs, I know the feeling of being too busy to blog - but at least you do keep posting and I know your blog is always a source of fun, gossip and useful writer info. Your summer sounds amazing.
Talli - thank you. She has settled in very well, which is a huge relief!
Phillipa - thank you, we did have a wonderful summer.
A memorable summer for all sorts of reasons, Debs :o) Lovely photos.
