Hello Reader, my little part of Germany is having a cold snap, just to prove that although flowers are blooming, winter hasn't lost its grip yet. Mr Shep and I were going for a walk on Sunday, but then the rain came, so we chickened out! We had a lazy weekend, pootling around the house and getting small jobs sorted. 💙

So, what has happened since last we spoke? Let me tell you...

This Week

Research... that's what this week has been about. I'm getting ready to start the next book in the series, so I wanted to ensure I had all the details (and the fairytale) sorted to make sure I don't make any silly errors when I start the first draft. Don't forget, Slippers and Songs is still available on BookSirens. Just click the link and follow the instructions. How about a little excerpt to whet your appetite?

“Pegi! We’ve a customer with a hankering for one of your oggies.”

“Alright, Ewan. I heard you. No need to shout at me like that. I nearly dropped the pan.” Pegi came through to the bar as she spoke, carrying a plate with a giant oggie on it. She gave a small gasp when she saw Brenin. “Oh!” She turned to her husband and poked him. “You could have told me it was for the prince!”

“That wouldn’t make a difference,” grunted Ewan. “Your oggies are good for everyone.”

“Let me be the judge of that, please!” Brenin gave her his best puppy dog look as he begged for the pastry.

“Oh, lord. Look at him. What a pitiful sight.” Pegi laughed as she handed the plate over to him. “Careful now, it’s still hot.”

Brenin took it from her and looked with delight at the semi-circle of filled pastry in front of him. He bit into it and moaned with delight as the hot lamb, potatoes, and leeks combined to make a tasty treat. “Oh, but that’s delicious,” he spoke with his mouth still full, and took another bite.

“I should have warned you about choking, not it being hot,” scolded Pegi, tapping his arm. “Have they not fed you, up at the castle? You’re eating as though you’ve been starved. My oggies are good and deserve to be savoured.”

Bodleian Library in Oxford, UK Oxford University’s Bodleian Library is one of the most celebrated in Europe with the Magna Carta and Shakespeare’s First Folio amongst the institution’s 13 million printed items. One of the most recognizable buildings apart of the library group, the masterful Radcliffe Camera, designed by James Gibbs, is the earliest example of a circular library in England. The neoclassical structure has gained popularity in mainstream culture after being featured in films such as Young Sherlock Holmes and The Golden Compass.

Mary Poppins Returns #FamilyMovieNight was a new classic that the whole family enjoyed. We loved the homage to the original, while still giving it individuality. Although, I was none too chuffed with Colin Firth as the baddie!

Slippers and Songs is going well on BookSirens, so that's something. I'm starting on the new one this week, but I've been making a spreadsheet to make sure I don't miss something important! ​
