After visits to (West) Germany and Russia, itâs time for our Women in Translation Month travels to take us back to Japan, and todayâs choice is a book that sees us heading a fair way back in time, too. Weâre off to thirteenth-century Kyoto, where weâre to make the acquaintance of a woman brought up for great things,...
Holy Island â LJ Ross First in the DCI Ryan crime fiction series. Lots of groundwork introducing key characters and relationships, along with the main plotline featuring murders by a satantic cult on the Holy Island of Lindisfarne.

This was my entry for Round 30 in 2011, and I wrote a super...
One of the things I do struggle with when taking photos of people on the street is the question of ethics. Is it ethical to capture an image of someone without their permission? In Australia, as in the UK, it is legal to do this. But nevertheless there is a certain uncomfortableness or feeling that I am doing...
Last Monday I took a trip on the River Stour In Kent, to look at wildlife, in particular to look for beavers. The trip was organised by Grove Ferry River Trips (contact details below), who provide the boat and the skipper plus a very well-informed ecologist who gave us lots of information about the wildlife in and...
