My Journey So Far...
[My doggie, Bertie, resting after his walkies.]
I started writing in the unlikeliest of places, on a beach on the Greek island of Kefalonia. I was there on holiday with my family and I decided to go down to the beach and 'take in the view'. Everything was so blue, the sea, the sky, my mood.
And then, unexpectedly, a crunching sound drew my attention to my left. Turtles had begun hatching in the sand! I watched as they emerged and crawled into the ocean. I was in awe, lost for words, but I knew that I had to chronicle this experience. So, I started writing it down, what I had seen, what I had heard, what I had felt.
And since then, I haven't stopped writing.
I hope you enjoy my work! <3 x
