About susan sheldon nolen
It’s rare to catch me without coffee, a form of camera, or my beloved wire fox terriers.

It’s such a privilege to have readers.

If you haven’t heard of, or read Fifty Shades of Grey, where have you been? I took a look at the book after hearing all the hype and wanted to see what was the fuss. The first thing that I … Continue reading →

I just adore Whitstable, the sea air, the small shops and this little blue door. It’s almost attached to the building next door. Very off balanced for the entire building, but, sometimes a door goes where it wants to go … Continue reading →
Recently I’ve subscribed to my morning read on my kindela. I miss the classified adverts which were fun to read, but pointless as I rarely replied to them. I miss walking over to the corner shop, saying hello, and picking … Continue reading →

I love going to market. As a child I remember the weekly trip with excitement and awe. Each week our local market magically became brand new. A land yet undiscovered! Baby chicks one week, hens the next. Men threw fish … Continue reading →

We didn’t plan our trip. We didn’t book a single motel, nor have a serious thought as to our route, other than thinking, hey let’s drive down the coast and see what happens. Crazy enough but with Ted? We did … Continue reading →
