Author: Sheila Newton

Sheila is a retired nurse and further education teacher. She devotes much time to her garden; writes avidly and reads anything she can get her hands on. She enjoys wandering Northumberland, taking in sights, sounds and scents of countryside and coast. She lives in North Shields with her husband and two beautiful but incorrigible cats; one black, one white.

    I’M TRYING TO GET RID OF MY TENDENCY TOWARD WRITING.  NASTY HABIT. IT’S DRIVING ME MAD, MAD, MAD!!  I’M GOING CRAZY! I’ve promised myself I’ll only write lists – shopping lists – from now on and see how I go!  I know I can kick this dreadful addiction.  I know I can. No more stories!
