Looking Ahead

What is your most beautiful thing? On Tuesday, 24th April, I'm taking part in a blogsplash to celebrate beautiful things, inspired by Fiona Robyn's new novel, The Most Beautiful Thing .

Perhaps it's a piece of artwork or a memory. It's completely up to you. If you'd like to be included in the list of bloggers who are taking part, Writing Our Way Home are compiling a directory. They'll also repost their favourite entries on their blog over the following month. If you'd like to join in, email fiona@writingourwayhome.com for more details. That's not me, by the way.
