September’s gone already, who can believe it? I was just settling into the month and then I looked up and it had gone. I’m enjoying the autumnal weather, though, and the cosy feelings that this time of year brings – warm jumpers, crisp morning walks, and even more hot...

It seems that the world and his/her wife has a blog these days, doesn’t it? There’s enough people harking on about their cats or discussing their daily diets to keep procrastination levels sky high, and it seems like the whole blogosphere is so over-saturated it’s in...

The word professional is bandied around like nobody’s business. It seems to be the go-to word to add a bit of leverage to any given phrase. Professional writer. Professional singer. Professional tea-lover. Why can’t it just be “writer”, “singer”, or “tea-lover”? What...
