		<title>Summer in the city</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I can&#8217;t believe how quickly the summer is passing and I can&#8217;t believe how bad the weather has been!  Still, there&#8217;s been a lot of fun like the brilliant day I met up with writer friend, Deborah Wright, last week.  We visited the beautiful Wallace Collection in London and then had a picnic in Hyde [...]]]></description>

		<title>Summer evenings</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of the things I love about summer is that you can decide to go out as late as six o&#8217;clock and still have hours of daylight to enjoy.  That&#8217;s what we did yesterday &#8211; heading off into Oxfordshire.  Roy&#8217;s painting a series of pictures along the Ridgeway and this means me and Molly get [...]]]></description>

		<title>Living the novel</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of the fun things about writing a novel is the research and the Jane Austen trilogy I&#8217;m currently writing is proving great fun.  In April, I had a trip to Lyme Regis where I spent a week really getting to know the setting of the second book.  I&#8217;ve been to Lyme before and love [...]]]></description>
