My Dad’s Adventure in Cyber Space…

Hope you all had a great Easter break.  Ours has been quiet, we’ve had a day at Birdland, a day at the Zoo and a meal at my parents. Now, during the meal, my Dad announced how he would love to eat at Marco Pierre White’s restaurant again.  This may make is...

Almost a thousand of you have read my book…

Haven’t been on here for a while.  Many reasons why, which I may be able to share soon.   I haven’t been far away… So, today I’ve realised that I’ve almost hit 1000 sales of my book.  Now, I really can’t quite believe it.  I...

‘A day at the Circus’, by Penny Canvin aged 8…

My parents have had a rough couple of weeks.  They had a flood in their lounge caused by a burst pipe under the floor, resulting in the whole carpet being lifted up and no heating since it happened.  They still won’t have any warmth in the house for at least two...

Turkey attracts such a lovely bunch of people

I’ve had the most lovely week – complete strangers, who I already now think of as friends, have sent me such touching messages about my book and it’s been a little overwhelming. It would be true to say that, when I first wrote the book (Friendship,...

Moaning feet…

Before I bore you with my moaning feet, may I firstly wish you all a very Happy New Year!   Yes, it’s 2015 already,  and I’d only just got used to 2014.  Rude. My moaning feet… well, it’s all because I took them out dancing on New Years Eve....

Never have a tango with an Eskimo…

I’ve no idea if the title is correct but this is a song I heard yesterday on a Xmas CD when out in the car with our daughter, and I can’t get it out of my head… I mean to say, what does it have to do with Christmas other than Eskimos being in the...

It’s nearly Christmas…

I can’t believe it’s almost Christmas…and, am I organised?  Absolutely not.  Never have been.  I plan to be each year, but it just doesn’t happen.  Why?  Probably because I’m too busy dressing the dog in Santa outfits… I’ve...

Towcester Library Festive Coffee Morning

As the lovely festive song goes, “Christmas is coming, the goose is getting fat”… except that it’s me getting fat.  And that’s partly blamed on the Mars Bar crispie cake I ate at the Towcester festive coffee morning yesterday.  Oh my...
