A Green Christmas A Green Christmas By Megan Cutler | January 13, 2014 | Comments 0 Comment Due to the large price tag of a flight across the ocean, we spent Christmas in England this year. There wasn’t any snow. My husband can’t believe it. He might believe Christmas was a dream. Thanks to modern marvels like the Internet, however, both of us got to chat with our families on Christmas day. … Read More Read More
On the Horizon On the Horizon By Megan Cutler | January 1, 2014 | Comments 1 comment I can hardly believe we’re ringing in another new year! Just one year ago we were in blistery, wintery northern Quebec, half-buried in the snow! This year has seen the edit of one of the novels I wrote last year, and the writing of its sequel. It still hasn’t seen the publication of any of … Read More Read More
Yule be Swingin’ Yule be Swingin’ By Megan Cutler | December 23, 2013 | Comments 0 Comment In ancient days the folk of old When chilled with fright by Winter’s cold Did kindle up a great Yule fire With leaping flames in its great pyre; So to entice the waining sun To rise again and wider run; It’s firey course across the sky, To warm them so they would not die. So … Read More Read More

The Hope and Anchor The Hope and Anchor By Megan Cutler | December 2, 2013 | Comments 2 comments When we finally found the perfect place to live in England, we ran into a small snag; it wasn’t available for occupancy for a month. When you pick up and move across an ocean, you don’t bring much with you. Especially when you don’t know how long you’re going to stay. We brought with us … Read More Read More
Call Me a Dreamer Call Me a Dreamer By Megan Cutler | November 25, 2013 | Comments 5 comments There are two ways to find happiness. I’ve spent a lot of time thinking lately (a dangerous past time, I know). Despite a deep desire for stability, my husband and I constantly find ourselves uprooted, buffeted by the winds of change to places we never imagined we’d go. And, to a certain extent, we embrace … Read More Read More
First Port of Call First Port of Call By Megan Cutler | November 11, 2013 | Comments 1 comment After our brief stay in London, we lugged all our suitcases back to the train station and traveled to Portsmouth. Our trip to England proved an excellent opportunity to meet with a fellow writer we met years ago on an RPG forum. He and his lady graciously offered to host us while we looked for … Read More Read More
A Walk in Westminster A Walk in Westminster By Megan Cutler | October 21, 2013 | Comments 0 Comment Our first twenty-four hours in England were less than ideal. Much of this had to do with jet lag; we left Toronto at 7:20 PM and arrived at Gatwick Airport at 7:20 AM… seven hours after our departure. We both tried to sleep on the plane, but it’s a tricky thing to sleep sitting up. … Read More Read More
First Impressions First Impressions By Megan Cutler | October 7, 2013 | Comments 6 comments The cat’s long been out of the bag now; my husband and I have come to England for a year. He’s got a job teaching at a school in Frimley and I’ve tagged along in hopes of finding some work for myself. Moving across an ocean isn’t easy, at times it isn’t even fun, but … Read More Read More
The Winds of Change The Winds of Change By Megan Cutler | September 30, 2013 | Comments 3 comments There’s a saying that life is what happens while you’re making other plans. This aligns perfectly with my experience. Every time my husband and I plan how we want our lives to go, the universe tramples it gleefully into dust. Back in high school, it all seemed so easy. I felt sure I’d graduate, write … Read More Read More
