I'm writing this at 9.20pm after a very successful launch meeting for my new local writers group. It was obvious that over half the people were not local so we may re Christen it as a Somerset group of some sort but I've asked people to think about it.

It was the first time I'd ever seen someone charge five pounds for a slice of drizzle cake. The...
In these days of fear and insecurity it is more problematic for people to summon up the courage to go along to somewhere new especially when they don't know people.
