Early memories stirred from old photographs. Marjorie brings to life and the picture of a child in war-torn Britain during the 1940s. In her case the home front was working class Yorkshire
My 2019 message to you!
“May your coming year
be filled with magic and dreams
and good madness.
I hope you read some fine books
and kiss someone who thinks you’re wonderful,
and don’t forget to make some art --
write or draw or build or sing
or live as only you can.
and I hope, somewhere in the next year,
You surprise yourself.
By Neil Gaiman.

What have I been doing? Well... I have been interviewed by Trevor Wainwright at 5 Towns Radio, it is a local radio Station. At the moment you are only able to receive it in the Castleford, Pontefract, Knottingley, Normanton and Featherstone in West Yorkshire. I read a couple of the stories from my book and answered Trevors' questions about my writing and my working life and everyday life of a retired person. I finished the interview by reading a beautiful poem of good wishes for the New Year. It is written by Neild Gaiman. It says everything I would like to say to you. Marjorie.

An update on how the book has been received.
I am thrilled at the responses from people I know and people I don't know.
Lots have been sold by myself in addition to coming in via this site paid for on PayPal. I can sign them, before taking to the Post Office. It is exciting to know one of my "babies" is on its way to a new home.
I also have a number of talks to local groups early next year. If you wish to contact me I would be happy to consider adding your group to the list if it within near distance,
More amazing to me is that I have two Radio interviews this month, with more promised for next year. Thanks to all, Marjorie
Hi, It's Marjorie. Just had to add my December Poem
I am not doing what I should be doing.
Each morning, I tell myself
The list of things to do today.
Things I like to do, want to do
Should do, the minutia of life.
Every day about five o clock
I evaluate my list, what can I
Tick off - the answer is none.
I have not vacuumed the carpets,
Or planted out some plants,
What have I done?
It is wet and windy today
The weather forecast is for worse,
I have made soup, written a poem
Written Christmas Cards,
Washed the clothes and dishes.
I have sat in my chair,
Looking at Facebook, writing comments,
Answered comments and emails.
I have communicated.
Surely that is good,?
My brain is working.
For tomorrow Sunday, the weather will
Be worse, I ask myself,
What will I not do? What surprising
Things will I do instead?
I know I will write, I do every day.
Maybe I will read, with a blanket
Over my knees.
