2023: Snapshots of my year (Part 1)

I post a photograph every day on https://www.blipfoto.com/Cathaber. It’s a wonderful visual diary. So here are some highlights of the year which is drawing to a close

January

Chinatown

First time in London for over 3 years. And met up with my very good friend Katsy for her birthday lunch.

In writing: I began reading entries for the Cheshire Novel Prize, something that would take up more and more of my time over the following months. It taught me a lot.

February

Coming round the mountain

Walking has been a very important part of my life this year. Here, with the Abergavenny Women’s Walking Group on Table Mountain. Also, longer and shorter walks with one or two friends.

Venice

Had to put in an extra photo to remember a very special trip with OB to Venice, a magical city.

In writing: Talked to a local WI about writing, but didn’t do much of it!

March

A new novella

Between the Virgin and the Sea. Published in Novella Express #3 by Leamington Books in Edinburgh.

In (new) writing: Started work on a substantial short story for the first time in ages.

Part 2 follows on 22nd December
