HAPPY CHRISTMAS FROM US ALL AT THE OLIVE FARM

ByCarol Drinkwater

Apologies for the lack of Newsletter this side of the holidays. I am fiendishly busy. News after the holidays.

Here is Samson who some of you will know came to us as a rescue dog in April. See how he has settled and blossomed. Gloriously, I discovered he was born on Christmas Day.

He is the epitome of New Opportunities. I wish you, wherever you are, whatever your faith, a wonderful upcoming few weeks of peace and joy with those you love. In 2019, I wish us all bounteous and rewarding opportunities.

Love to you and thank you for being here

Carol

Wings of Hope – Paris, November 2015

The street illuminations are magnificent, the shopping is deliciously decadent and hectic and the Irish Catholic child in me thrills at St Peter’s Church and Square decked out in all its Nativity glory. Except that this year the…

Saving lives in the French Alps. An Act of Love.

How do we find the stories, the ideas for our novels or how do they find us? I am always on the lookout for ideas, for seeds that might grow like flowers into fully-realised stories. We writers are always digging about for nuggets. Magpies, we are, looking for what shines. Sometimes, the work involves weeks,…

France as my Inspiration

ByCarol Drinkwater

I am deep in work at present, lost in the brambly mire of editorial notes on my still untitled novel due for publication in 2017. As well, I am also preparing or rather allowing to gestate the novel I am about to begin writing. I am not a Plotter. I start with grainy images of…

Introducing Gloster House, County Offaly, Ireland

I love properties and the excitement of property renovations, as those of you who have read my Olive Farm series of books will know, but rarely have I suffered from House Restoration Envy or indeed House Envy, pure and simple, until I was travelling through the midlands of the Emerald Isle where as Fate would…
