Hello, are there any foragers here? I'm fairly new to foraging, 2 years approximately, and I love it. I've made some tinctures so far and have started looking into making salves and balms.
I have written, in some form, all my life...travel articles (not very well paid), poems (unsold), a long saga novel (refused by many publishers), academic essays, (completely unpaid) translations from Italian and French (paid in kind by hotels and restaurants) and FINALLY I retired and returned to live in England and began to write books that actually sell. I now give creative writing courses in Cambridge and Norwich (almost unpaid) and recently online only.
I have two bylines often attached to my pen name Kate Fitzroy
1 'escape with a book'
2 Everyone has a book to write.
I shall end with a quote from P.G. Wodehouse "I know I was writing stories when I was five. I don't know what I did before that. Just loafed, I suppose."
Recently took early retirement and have time on my hands. I do have hobbies and interests gathered over the years but I think I'm looking for something that would take me out of my comfort zone and inspire me.
Regards from Sussex
I have been pen palling for a while now does anyone else do this and is there somewhere on the site for this? It would be nice to write to people on here if they were interested.
I have recently written and self published a book, I found it quite difficult in selecting a publisher, and things were not as straightforward as it first seemed. Has anybody else some knowledge for me to use as I have now finished writing my second book and would like it to be seen by a wider audience, and I am well on my way with a third manuscript.
I am a retired teacher. I have a 9-year-old granddaughter. She loves to work with robots. To encourage this interest, I would like to buy her a robot-building kit.
Before I retired, we used micro:bit in classrooms. I want to get her that micro:bit kit. What do you say? Do you have any other suggestions? confused
Hello, I was just attracted to an ad 'free University courses for seniors' however it set me on a wild goose chase around many associated websites which were not honestly offering free courses online so much as wanting people to have a free sample for a short period.
Perhaps genuinely free courses for online for seniors do exist - does anyone know of any? I never had a University education and I would like to be a writer.
I’ve been watching ghost adventures on TV and I want to try it for myself but I’m not allowed out on my own because I’m an epileptic and my seizures can come anytime without warning but I still want to go ghost hunting as it looks fun - I wouldn’t go alone I would bring some friends along
