It’s great to be home after a wonderful trip with my husband. We spent 11 days in the UK, five in Edinburgh, then three in York and three in the Lake District. Did you know that Edinburgh hosts the largest Arts Festival in Europe during the month of August? There are hundreds of productions that go on EVERY DAY! Besides the legitimate festival, they also have something called The Fringe, which are smaller productions, smaller venues, for performers who are just starting out. And then there are the street performers. It’s a wonderful time in Edinburgh, though a bit crowded. Some day, I’ll figure out how to make my pictures small enough to post. But for now, I’ll have to send you to my website, margomaguire.com, to see them.

Come and check out my other blog: http://www.margomaguire1.blogspot.com/ where I’m posting excerpts of a manuscript I’ve never published. I’d like to get this thing critiqued. I know it’s not publishable as it is, nor will it ever be (it’s not the kind of thing publishers buy these days). But I thought it would be interesting to run through the process of writing a book, then revising it – with your help! Everyone who submits will be entered into a drawing at the end of the month. The prizes will be books and goodies from your favorite Avon authors! See you at blogspot.
