Welcome to the round up of posts you might have missed this week on Smorgasbord.

I hope you have had a great week… nothing much to report from here except for some progress made on my WIP Tales from the Irish Garden two… I will be focusing on this for the next few weeks and hope to have the book out in the spring.

An update on my soundcloud activities… my husband went ahead and subscribed for another year… so each week I will share some of the shorter recordings with you in the round up…I hope you enjoy… This one is a tribute to nature…Rain and the Wisdom of Trees.  You can listen to all the other recordings Sally Cronin Soundcloud

Laura Lyndhurst explores the anamolies we find in books, in the theatre, television dramas and films.. and even in the classics. Clearly in many cases there has been little or no research with a ‘never let the facts get in the way of a good story’ approach.

BERJAYA

Welcome to the round up of posts on Smorgasbord that you might have missed during the week…

I hope you have had a good week and thanks for dropping in here today for the catch up. On the home front decorating has gone well with David finishing the utility room which now looks very bright and cheerful with bright yellow walls and glossy white woodwork…next job is our joint office and I will be decamping to the dining room for a couple of weeks with my desktop so there will be no break in service (hopefully).

Outside I managed to get half the pot planting done before high winds blew in and delayed the other half until tomorrow. Still it is beginning to look bright and cheerful out there too.

I did capture the blossom on the tree that has appeared this week before it gets blown away…

Lots to be grateful for, including these three amazing contributors.
