Hello!

Hello, I'm Cathy and I'm a writer, proofreader, editor and all-round word botherer but this blog is a collection of all sorts of stuff and there'll probably be stuff about cats and sewing as well as writing. Please believe me when I say my vocabulary does sometimes extend to words other than 'stuff'.

There was a launch party last Thursday at @thelighthousechampagnebar with a poetry reading by @shazza_mckazza and a performance by singer-songwriter @floglen12. 

You can get a free copy of Folkestone Foghorn from dozens of shops, cafes, bars and galleries around town. 😀

After I’d placed my order, I noticed it was coming from France but I only ordered them on Tuesday night and they turned up this morning (Saturday). 

Very pleased 😀
