This long-anticipated weather front will very nicely coincide
with National Love Parks Week - which, incidentally, starts tomorrow.
There’s nothing more therapeutic than for writers and
readers alike to get out there and enjoy the great outdoors (unless you suffer
from hayfever, of course, in which case you’d better load up on antihistamines
and hankies). There’s something extremely liberating about sprawling out on a
freshly mown lawn whilst reading a good book, or scribbling in a notepad away
from the eye-ache of a laptop screen.
Love Parks Week is about celebrating public parks all over
the country. It’s about indulging ducks in a gluttonous diet of your unwanted sandwich
crusts, weighing up whether your adult-sized arse might still fit on the
kiddies' swings or slide without becoming wedged, it’s about swatting away the abundance
of wasps that pester the crap out of you when you crack open a can of pop or
unwrap a sandwich from its clingfilm. It’s good to shake your travel rug loose
and park yourself in a nice spot (preferably away from the sound of kids
kicking balls around) and just unwind for a bit. So go on, embrace Love Parks
Week and get out there!
…we’re counting on you Mr Sunshine, don’t let us down - please.
Oh and for a little outdoorsy summer read, here’s the link
for a short horror story of mine called Church
Fate - which is absolutely free to
download. I wrote it last year in the midst of summer, my inspiration being a local church and vicar. When I drove my nana round to the church to make
a donation for the roof repairs, I knew there was a story in there somewhere. Anyway,
I had great fun writing it and I hope you have fun reading it J

Church
Fate
Ramshead is a
quite a boring little countryside village in the middle of nowhere, therefore
absolutely nothing in the world could have prepared Trevor, the local vicar,
for the bloody scene of hair-tearing madness at the church fete. ...seriously, nothing at all.
