A life raft for writers at sea

Sketches, ideas and works-in-progress.

Welcome to my newsletter. This is where I share stories from my seaside village in the South West of France, my trips to the market, weekly recipes, and updates on our house renovation. Most of it’s free, and will always be free.

It's a wonderful world—meet the inhabitants!
