HIC! What? More of the same? Help!
Congratulations on your success. I, too, am a published author (non-fiction) and occasionally chat about books and the process on my blog. All the best and happy writing.
Thanks Kathy! I wish you the very best too!
Well done with your success. I truly enjoy your writing!
Thank you! I like your pages too! I discovered you through the brilliant Ray Ferrer…
Great to know he is getting the recognition her deserves. Are you currently in the UK? I studied abroad in Winchester for a year.
Wow you are so accomplished! I love children’s books, so I’ll have to check yours out! Congratulations on all of your awards! You must be so proud.
Thank you for following my blog! I look forward to your future posts!
Thanks Lily! And you are welcome!
Hello Caro! It’s great to meet you. Your lovely poem about me had me blushing, I must say! Thank you so much for taking the time to write it and for visiting my blog. I love yours and have already bookmarked it. Best wishes, Siobhan x
You are very welcome! I have taken to writing poems recently about blogs I like, and yours is one…
You are very welcome! I have been having fun highlighting blogs I enjoy my in verse recently! Glad you enjoyed yours!
Love your writing…it is so full of joy and generosity…such a find !! I look forward to reading more, particularly your poems on food that make me smile and feel hungry all at once!! 🙂
Thank you very much! I have been indulging myself recently, writing poems about blogs I enjoy!
Hi Caro, very impressive career! And I love your writing so much I shared your latest poem about rowing. I did that years ago with my ex-husband and it is definitely a lot harder to row than it looks. Even harder is trying to synchronize the rowing with another person or other people! Glad to meet you 🙂
Thank you so much!
Thanks for sharing by the way, and pleased to meet you too!
Hi I stopped by because helenvalentina spoke highly of you. Can’t wait to read more.
How splendid! She is a very fine poet. I will have to come and find you!

Hello its nice to see someone in england visit my blog for a change thankyou well londons a big change from somerset isnt it
You are welcome! And yes, a refreshing change…
iam sure it is
Loved the poem. I also tried to describe childbirth ( from a mother’s perspective) in a long narrative poem. I thought it was one thing half the world’s population knew nothing about…the feelings not the facts. If interested you can find it in A Shadow in Yucatan…bit.ly/ShadYuc Interesting Biography. I am still in Somerset!
Thank you! Glad you liked it…that is quite some compliment, coming from you..
I will buy both your books on Amazon and enjoy a lovely read!
Where in Somerset are you? I used to live in the Quantocks…
Hello my fellow Jamaican ! Stopping by to pay a visit to your blog. Best of luck with the A to Z Challenge!
How lovely! Thank you! Good luck to you too!

Take care!

How lovely of you! Thank you so much Alex!
HI,
I’m Tokoni, a student and poet. Its nice to meet you. I’d like to invite you to my blog at http://www.insanitybeautiful.wordpress.com if you’re interested. Thanks.
Kingston, Jamaica. Is that Jamaica as in the Caribbean? That’s the country I took birth in. Wow, what a coincidence. 🙂
Yes indeed! I was born there many moons ago!
Lovely to meet another fellow Jamaican, though I’m more seasoned in Britain. 🙂
Me too! Been here since I was 6!
Pleased to virtually meet you, i was sent via a Citroën who offered you up as magnifiscent. I look forward to perusing this beautiful space. 😇😉
Happy to meet you too. Anita told me she’d suggested you follow me… no sooner said than done! I’m surprised we didn’t meet as writer’s when I lived in Somerset! Whereabouts do you live? I used to live in the Quantocks. You will have to come and see us when we get to Devon in the New Year! X
We moved here from Suffolk, it will be four years in March. Settling in… well shall we say is a work in progress. 😯😕 We are in Broadway a village near Ilminster. Seriously we would love to meet up. I think we are fun and friendly and both a bit quirky probably why the locals haven’t yet gelled.
And where were you in Suffolk? I know the Long Melford area well and have friends in Whatfield & Sudbury. Have friends in Sea (he’s the GP). But don’t know many others near Ilminster, sorry!
Bury St Edmunds John had lived there since eight, I worked there ten years. Oh we know long Melford very well. It is a small world, let us know where we can find you, private dm me on twitter have motorhome if need be can travel.
Knew Bury well too!? Will do! You can find me on FB too as Caroline Field x
