November Newsletter

Summer is around the corner and making appearances for a few days here and there. Hubby and I are blessed to have our first holiday in a long time. We're taking nothing for granted.

Take care

War time memories

​I often say to my "Covid is a war". When I do, life's challenges are, I think, put into perspective. My late Dad was born in London and was nine years old when WWII broke out. I think of what he coped with as a lad in the U.K. and I am humbled.

Book progress

​"So how's the book going?", you might be wondering. 'Being a Distance Grandparent - a Book for ALL Generations' is kind of on the (long) home straight. In a couple of weeks, I need to submit the latest draft which I hope the ed' will say is "looking good", or something along those lines. Having recently completed a 43,000-word thesis you'd think this project would be a 'walk in a park', but alas writing for professors is a world away from writing for the mainstream. Needless to say - lots of good learning curves. I know my book speaks in a way no other book does, so be assured the voice of Distance Grandparents will be loud and clear. At this stage, I hope the book will be on the market in March 2021.
