In coping with the death of her husband, Nick, the author Lynda M. Daniele took a writing class at her local YMCA and began writing a story for children about her husband's battle with meningioma and the neighborhood children he was babysitting for. The four children did not have a grandfather and asked him to be their grandfather. With a great big Grandpa Nick smile, he agreed. Grandpa Nick's Bump tells the story of a silly, playful Grandpa Nick and the importance of grandfatherhood.

“This is a beautifully written and illustrated work, the poems are perceptive and evocative, the illustrations of our coast are wonderfully and uniquely observed...”. Nick Cotton (local historian, owner of Lynda Cotton Gallery) 'We Are Here Between' is a beautifully produced collection of illustrated poetry that describes coastal areas between Porlock Weir and Steart Marsh, along Somerset’s channel coastline. It is a small limited edition hard backed volume: 178x127mm, 4 colour off-set litho printed on 170gsm silk paper. It is a volume of ten poems and accompanying artwork inspired by the place where I live: Watchet, on the Somerset coast, UK. Since moving to Watchet five years ago I have spent hundreds of sublime hours walking the atmospheric and timeless landscapes of this beautiful place. The poems and illustrations are a response to the atmosphere of these places. They are my own mythology drawn mainly from my imagination, and are a metaphorical response to the landscape, history and stories of this area. You can read some of the poems in my blog https://janmoirascafe.wordpress.com/poetry/we-are-here-between/ and the illustrations are all viewable as separate items in my shop.

I was getting dressed to go and look at property with my realtor partner when I heard the doorbell ring. Thinking that she had arrived early to pick me up, I looked out my bedroom window, but I didn't see her car in my driveway. I walked into the living room and opened the front door, but there was no one there, however, I did see a black cat who looked just like Nick rushing across the street. She's a stray and has a thing for Mr. Nick. This past summer, she stood outside my bedroom window and meowed for him until he jumped up on the sill and they began meowing each other! When my friend arrived, I told her what happened. She laughed and said, "She thought you were gone, and came over for her date with Nick!"

I confess that I notice left-handed people all the time despite the fact that I am particularly right-handed but – whatever - you’ve got to hang an entry on something. Julia Sawalha is famous for playing juveniles both when she was a juvenile and when she was well past that age. She played fifteen year old Lydia in Pride and Prejudice when she was twenty seven and it didn’t seem wrong. So it was with a bit of shock when she turned up in the first episode of Cranford looking like she was in her late thirties (which she is). It was okay for me to say that but I felt that Sir Charles Maulver (played by Greg Wise) was a real meanie for saying so in her hearing.

For most people, Julia Sawalha is Lynda Day from Press Gang or Saffy from Absolutely Fabulous. I find AbFab rather tedious and it seems superfluous talking about great she is as the steely and caustic Junior Gazette editor. So I'll talk about the two roles that I think she thoroughly shone in but don't come instantly to mind when she's mentioned: Ginger in Chicken Run and Carla in Jonathan Creek. Chicken Run is a Nick Park creation which passes the Bechdel test with flying colours (pun intended). The voice acting is superb with Miranda Richardson quite marvellous as Mrs Tweedy. However, Julia holds it together as the leader of the hens who is not deterred by all the setbacks that beset her and her fellow inmates. She may be a little spiky in a Lynda Dayish way towards Rocky but she does exasperation so well.

Jonathan Creek's charm was partly due to the relationship between Jonathan and Maddie (Caroline Quentin) so when Quentin left it felt like the show was going to suffer. However, Julia was a delight and seemed to really enjoy the role-playing that being Jonathan's sidekick demanded. There is warmth, genuine niceness and an air of decency about her acting which I admire and enjoy. She is also splendidly shaped. And I'll be nice and forget she was ever in Second Thoughts which is a classic ITV sitcom. Classic that is in the sense of being entirely unfunny and atrociously acted by a cast that included James Bolam and Lynda Bellingham. And here is the proof she is a lefty:
