Our Relationship With Nature is a personal blog about being natural. Because we’re all in it, all eight billion people plus: all the birds, fish and animals, all the trees, mosses and orchids; I feel I can blog about pretty well anything. I hope you find something of interest in these pages. I wrote them with you in mind. And nature, of course.
You may be interested in my historical fiction, MILADY, now available in serial form on Substack.
If you’re interested in learning more about MILADY, you can follow my search describing research trips and thinking from 2017 – 2023. I hope you enjoy reading about my one step forward and three steps going in a circle as I developed the plot. (With a little help from Monsieur Alexandre Dumas and his tame historian, Auguste Maquet.)
I’m from the British Colonies: born in England, brought up in Australia and New Zealand with three years of childhood in Hong Kong. After a while, my son Felix was born in Melbourne.
Right now you can find my author’s pages on Facebook, Goodreads and Amazon. Oh, and Smashwords for good measure! I’m on Instagram, issuu and Tumblr. Here’s the Amazon author page and here’s an account of my Camino.

Please find my blog series about my travels here.
I was lucky enough to work and travel around Spain for three years and you can read blog posts about my adventures in Granada, Cordoba and Monserrat, Valencia, Madrid and Seville.
In 2016 I visited Hong Kong, Spain, France, Germany, the Czech Republic, Denmark and fleetingly, Sweden. In 2017 I added England and, in 2018, Belgium before traveling across the world.
I’m working on a large project – daunting, exciting and intriguing. It’s getting bigger every research step I take and that’s MILADY! Please dip into my search: https://searchingformilady.substack.com/
For now you might be interested in having a look at my two previous books, EKTEK and Man of Clay.
EKTEK is about endangered animals trying to help themselves. It’s an absurd cross between the Thunderbirds and Colditz.
Man of Clay is the story of a woman trying to save her family. It’s about marriage, ceramics and frogs, also endangered!
They say the first five hundred reviews are the hardest. As you can see, I’d really appreciate your help on that!
Let me know what you think!
