I suspect 'writer's block' describes one of those many days when you just don't feel like writing. I have lots of those - in fact most days start that way. However, I never wait to feel inspired. I just start writing. It's actually when you are writing that the thoughts begin to flow. To get over the fear of the blank page, I write in another typeface e.g. italics. By doing so, I'm telling myself that this does not have to be a finished page, it does not have to be perfect, it's just for ideas. Start writing - anything - that's the answer! You can always go back and edit or improve later.(less)

The Baker’s Missing Breeches

The George Inn, Southwark. The only galleried coaching inn left in London.

When a Folkestone baker fell foul of a confidence trickster it was not so much a case of the wrong trousers as the missing ones! But what really happened … and who was telling the truth?

Fascinating, dangerous and dirty, 18th century Southwark was Kent’s gateway t
