About Me

Family Adams: Hello from Cumbria. This rather intermittent blog reflects upon the ideas, places, books and legends that influence my writing. Most current research and travelling supports my work on the Brockworth Chronicles, the first four Books of which are now available on Amazon. Here you will find articles upon History, Stately Homes, Iris ensata, travel, food, embroidery, and anything random that amuses or intrigues me! email address: drbadams11 @ gmail.com, omitting the spaces (to stop spam!)
