Writing in the garden

It is good to have time to be outside and write. I do often feel claustrophobic when indoors and will have the window open by my desk or as I am now writing in the garden. 

Living in the UK you never know when the sun will come out and so when it is does the British Girl within me has to make the most of it and so here I am. 


It is a day of a heatwave. The hottest day of the year so far. 

We have had a lovely lunch/dinner of Chicken Steak, with salad and salad potatoes and then sandwiches later in the day with a lovely desert and perfect Saturday. 

I like to write in the garden when it isn't so hot outside and when it is a cooler. 

A good time to read and plane watch with my son. 

It is good to just listening to the birds and the bees. It is good to see the squirrels scurraging and see them looking for food and we did have bird feed but it would be taken by the squirrels. They are little sods but great to watch and be careful of your bulbs planted as they will steal them. 

When I was a kid we would go to a park with a paddling pool or go to Chertsey with other families we knew and swim in the river there and it were great days out and writing in the garden makes me feel good in thinking about those days and loving the outside world and just so Tranquille.

Living in a city is good for travelling to other places but I do enjoy the Surrey greenery. Driving up the Epsom Downs and seeing the Racecourse and there is a brilliant view of London from there and never get sick of it. 

Being by the sea is good too and looking forward to when we go to the Isle Of Wight, where we will holidaying this year and it will be a nice change. I like little Islands and being near the sea and my sons first time going there. 

It makes me be thankful, because I do feel lucky that I get to write in the garden and with a lovely cup of tea or perhaps a coffee and love reading out there too. 

Many thanks for reading, 


Carrie X

Writing on When Kids return to school and best way to schedule your writing

Image
If you to write blog and books, you need that time to yourself, and it is all about routine and flexibility.  When you write is up to you, and doing the school drop off, rather than pick up, will give me a whole day still to write and anything else required.  I will be bringing some writing with me and create a school run travel bag, with bits to do my work and make up bag, to do make up at old home, to be with my son, before he is taken to school. You don't have to do much in terms of writing, ten minutes is still getting it done and remember to always take a notepad and pens with you, so you can write whilst on the go. The school run can be stressful, but once you get used to the routing you find that everything else eventually does fit in.  This week as it is the first of the school, my son's dad has taken him, but next week it will be me there, and the school is not as close as his school he went before, but hopefully the school will provide travel for my son to be th...

Writing during the School Summer Holidays

Image
It is coming up to the last weeks of the School Summer Holidays, and fitting in writing has been not that tricky, but when I haven't written for most of the day, I get itchy fingers.  Being a mum and a writer of blogs and books and setting up online courses and videos too, it has to be on hold and have gotten used to it.  Being a mum I don't mind putting my writing on hold, and I do what I can and use the evenings and if I get up early enough, in the mornings aswell.  This does include planning and settting out time, gettng earlier than usual and using what time I have. I do write myself lists and go through what I would like to write to what I want to get done first. Usually it is writing or finishing off a blog post and then working on my books.  I like to write one comedy, one serious novel and a self help or a biographical type book.  It is fitting around planned activities and events. It is using the weekends when Henry's Dad (my son) is not working, and le...
