Busy

It's been a busy few weeks, so much so I have not posted anything here since early last month!
The day job is in its busy 'peak season' for respiratory illnesses, family commitments have also been demanding, enjoyable but non the less, all absorbing.
Thankfully, today is a little easier.

So what's happening out there?
It's snowing, cold and treacherous on the roads. We had been trying to get to Colchester, trying to travel a route that would take an hour in total... Two hours later, several skids and anxiety attacks +++ with only half the route travelled, we turned around.
The snow has eased but the roads are like sheets of ice now...
I've just returned from walking RosieG, slipping and sliding around and happy to be indoors.

The snow looks beautiful and the landscape turns a different hue with the winter-scape. The frosted leaves, trees and grass, white and glistening... Gorgeous but treacherous.
My mum, comfortable and warm in Gibraltar, has never seen the snow and is always saying we are so lucky... But mum, I'd trade the warm sun to the snow any day.

A passage from the book

An Exerpt from 'The key to the gates of hell'  taken from our book Phantasms in the Infirmary

8pm: the evening shift were handing over to the night shift who would take on the mantle for the next 12 hours. They would pass on the charge of the patients they’d looked after and rest before taking on their responsibility from them on the next morning, like a massive health related relay race however the metaphorical baton was a ward full of ill people. A capable and experienced lot, there would be every confidence that the handover the next morning at 8am would be equally as uneventful.

Want to know what happened next?
I'm sure you do..
Well Download a copy of Phantasms in the Infirmary and read it, live it and feel the exhilarating ghost stories for yourself.
