One more day!
May 31, 2013
Just one more day till I’m giving away 2 copies of Be In The Place. (Teen adventure and romance novel set at Glastonbury Festival) All you need to do to enter is like Oshun’s facebook page. Easy!
I still haven’t worked out what to do when I grow up! I’m mainly a writer, an artist, and a fairytale dressmaker with various crafty hobbies! Here (and on YouTube) I share bits of my life, thoughts, and what I’m learning along the way. Let’s find magic and inspiration; join me for this creative living adventure!

Monterey Bay Aquarium, California
May 26, 2013
This is apparently the largest aquarium in the United States. We weren’t doing Seaworld this time, and my husband enjoys aquariums, so we decided to visit this one…
The Discovery Inn, Monterey, California
May 23, 2013
By the time we’d finally finished the awful Big Sur road and reached Monterey, we were starving and desperate for the loo. All my pre-planned motels on the list went out the window and after a quick check on trip advisor in the Burger King car park, we decided to stay here…
Elephant seals at California
May 21, 2013
It’s always fascinating seeing animals you normally only ever see in zoos, actually in the wild. So we went looking for elephant seals on the Californian coast…
The Wizarding world of fashion
May 21, 2013
(A version of this article was originally published at Try Handmade.)
Yes, I am not ashamed to admit it: I am a Harry Potter fan! So much so, we saved up to take the family to Harry Potter World in Florida two years ago, and we simply couldn’t wait to see the last film in the series that year…
Highway 1 and Big Sur, West coast California
May 19, 2013
It is the area of coast up from Los Angeles to San Francisco. The quicker route between the two cities is route 101, which is the road we took last time, but we thought we’d take the scenic route…
Solvang and Nojoqui Falls county park, California
May 13, 2013
It looked very close to the coast on the map, but turned out to be quite a long way out of our route. We thought we’d have a go at visiting somewhere different in the the Rough Guide guidebook.
Inspired by Nature spirits
May 11, 2013
This article was originally published at Try Handmade. There is something about a bluebell wood with dappled sunlight streaming through the leaves that makes me believe in nature spirits. They’re there, I know they are. I just wish I could see them…
Glastonbury Book Giveaway!
May 10, 2013
There is quite a lot of activity over at the Glastonbury festival site, and to get you all in the festival mood, I thought I’d give 2 people a free copy of my book, Be In The Place. It’s a teen adventure / romance set at Glastonbury festival and if you’d like a look at the blurb and reviews, go to the amazon page or the Random House page.
All you have to do is like Oshun’s Facebook page and on the 1st of June I’ll pick two people at random. If you like or share, you’ll get double the chance. Good luck!
The Los Angeles Natural History Museum
May 9, 2013
It was very different from the one in London! Firstly, it wasn’t free like we expected – it was $6 each plus $6 to park the car. This is what we thought of the place…
Pinning it Together
May 7, 2013
This article was originally published at Try Handmade. The humble safety pin. Its usual purpose is to act as an emergency fastener when a zip or button breaks, but it has evolved into a legitimate item of alternative fashion…
Universal Studios, California (4 years later)
May 6, 2013
I’ve already done a fairly comprehensive review from last time we went: part one and part two. So if you’re going, read those posts first, however there have been a lot of changes since then, so here’s a bit more to know…
