Spring is almost upon us...finally.

I for one can't wait for those long days and fairer weather. As much as winter is comforting and cozy I want to get out in the garden and start cooking meat on flames. I live for the summer months and barbecuing.

Also this year I'll be continuing revamping the back garden. Last year I built my garden office and installed an aviary which is home to 10 very noisy budgies at the side (not the best idea as the little colourful flying rats do nothing but scream at me every time I'm in the office and dare to film a video or even cough out loud).

This year it is all about building raised decking where the patio is (with built in bar and seating area), and then adding decking on the other side of the garden where the office is...and then I'm going to be learning brick laying via YouTube university and building a proper barbecue with chimney and everything. I'm hoping to get all this done in spring so that summer can be filled with plenty of sun soaked days in the back eating and drinking and making memories.

Not content on just turning into Bob the builder, I've been ramping up my writing in the last month or so. At the moment I'm writing 3 books and editing another 3 which can sometimes be a little confusing but I'm getting through it.

With my Kickstarter campaign for book 3 in my Lad-Lit series now coming to a close, with just a few days left (if you fancy bagging yourself some signed copies of the first three in the series) I'm looking forward to launching at the end of March and then moving on to book 4 (a new one no one has yet read).

I'm also hoping to re-launch my Divine series in the next couple of months under my R.J.Radcliffe moniker and would love to hear off those of you who have already read some of the series.

Right, that's all from me for now. Time to get in the garden in preperation of the wood for the decking arriving in the next few days. What are your plans this summer?

Best wishes,
