I was out walking with a friend in the New Forest and we were looking at an iron age hill fort. Of course it is in the New Forest so all we can see are trees and maybe a slight rise where the ring had been. "You know if my mate were here she would find… Continue reading Ancient

Underground
Imagine a town under the ground... There are shops and people living. Small cottage industries like seamstresses and tailors make the place a bustling town. Everyone is working and the place is a hive of activity. Everyone is poor but they are all in the same boat. Now, imagine that a disease hits, it's nasty.… Continue reading Underground
Getting fit
Really! I decided to. Let's put it this way, a friend wanted me to walk to the top of a hill. It was a fairly steep slope... It took me about 12 stops and I lot of time. He coached me all the way up and I made it. I was so proud... But this… Continue reading Getting fit
Urgent
This morning I woke up with a feeling that wouldn't go away. It hung in the air and made me feel like I was missing something. The last few weeks have been one of change. I have picked up a troll, and my artwork and writing is taking a slightly different turn. Normally one of… Continue reading Urgent
Trust
The world is built on it... My life is built on it... I tried to explain it to someone the other day. Every relationship I have I trust, either for them to be friends or more. I lived in the Midlands during the 70's and right the way through to the 90's. In 2000 I… Continue reading Trust
Subdued
My personality is a little subdued, at least some of the time. I take pleasure in the small stuff; creating a good sentence or having the wind in my face. Sure I can be bubbly and over the top but it isn't the everyday me. I can hold the bubbly Kate for a good day,… Continue reading Subdued

I am super clumsy... I have a condition called dyspraxia and one of it's many quirks is that I can't balance. Not at all. When I was eleven it took my mum six months to teach me how to balance on a bike. We were living in a large town at the time and on… Continue reading Clumsy
Promises
We all make them. Sometimes they are small ones... That we will promise to say hi to someone we next see and other times they are huge. I try not to make many. I hate not being able to follow through with them. But at the same time I am a great advocate of promises.… Continue reading Promises
Realise
Today I realised that I got to be happy with the now and not worry about the future so much. And I do worry about the future. I worry that the art will be a failure, that the books won't sell and that I will be a pauper... Now that is all just silly. The… Continue reading Realise
Tree
You know I once knew a woodsman... A guy who owned a husky and worked in the woods. In fact, as far as I know he is still there. I was doing a load of courses at a place called Denmark Farm and one of those courses was to create a composting loo. Why? I… Continue reading Tree
