A Scotsman, A Frenchman, An Italianman : Go Totally Bonkers!

I have a character in Ravens of Dinefwr. She is introduced as a woman “with eyes as cold as a Saami winter.” The 3 above named have LOST THE PLOT! Fact. I’ve done the cold water, the sauna, the cold water – dispensed by Rosa Klebb when I wasn’t looking. #SadistVibe! SCREAM? MOI? Yes. LOUD […]

Bagpipes: A Brief History and Discussion

If you have a single leetle grey cell (Poirot) you CAN link EVERYTHING that I am and EVERYTHING that I’ve done together. Yes? No? Mummies in China wearing TARTAN.

GB’s Believe It or Not

I don’t care either way but…and this is the truth…I had NO IDEA that Gordon Ramsay was Scottish. A couple of days ago a member of my fam said – “Well. He is a Scot. No wonder he’s so angry all the time.” But he talks like a Poncy English Dude. Oh. Erm. Much like […]

Browning L9A1

So – the writers of Sherlock did their research :o) I was taught this weapon. Inside and out. The bastard weapons instructor used to make us strip it down and reassemble it – behind our backs. But it did have MAJOR faults. It jammed regularly and wouldn’t fire. Also – for me personally – it […]
