About susan sheldon nolen

I was sitting at my desk, blinded by the sunlight streaming through the blinds, and just snapped my round glass paper weight and my vase. The sun was so strong that the lilac tree, still in winter mode, came through … Continue reading →

You wouldn’t think you could close your eyes whilst riding the tube, but you can, and it’s oh so easy to miss a stop this way. I don’t know if it’s the rocking of the carriage, or just plain exhaustion … Continue reading →
