Virginia grew up in Orkney, using the breath-taking scenery to fuel her imagination and the writing fire within her.

#HistFicThursdays - Dice Games

Every week we settle down for a family games night. This week was a game called £GREED, which is a variation on the long established dice game 5000. It's a favourite in this household, as it is a precarious balance between tactics and gambling. Caesar's famous remark that "the die is cast" as he crossed the Rubicon, shows that he knew and acknowledged this balance.

Dice are amongst the oldest
