Welcome to my blog!

A warm welcome!  I will use this blog to promote all things Devon – from time to time I will publish some photos of our glorious county and also will promote the books, music and other publications.

I author books about famous people with an intimate connection with Devon – Charles Babbage, Elizabeth Barrett, Charles Dickens and John Keats.

Each of these loved our county and felt a sense of belonging – if sometimes for bitter sweet reasons.  Keats, for example, always harboured a dream that he would move to live in Devon permanently having stayed in Teignmouth to be with his dying brother.

Hope you like the blog and please check back to read my articles!
