Welcome, Fellow Wanderers!

"Home is behind, the world ahead." J.R.R. Tolkien

'Home is behind, the world ahead.'

Step onto the winding path, where stories begin with the first step beyond your door. Wander More, Wonder More: A Road of Tales Without End is a space for those who seek adventure -whether it’s just beyond the garden gate or across distant horizons.

Here, we’ll explore the beauty of travelling both near and far, discovering magic in the everyday and tales in the unlikeliest of places. You don’t need to cross oceans to find wonder; sometimes the most meaningful journeys start just around the corner.

There’s a quiet kind of magic in the first step beyond the doorstep. A whisper that calls us to wander, to wonder, to follow the winding roads that never truly end. I’ve come to believe that you don’t need to journey to the ends of the earth to find wonder. Sometimes, the most extraordinary stories are waiting just beyond the garden gate, in places we thought we already knew.

This is where my first story begins - at a much-loved, and frequently visited place. Five minutes walk from home, the moment I realised what I could do with this new chapter - wander, wonder, write!

So grab your walking stick, pack your sense of curiosity, and join me as we follow the road, wherever it may lead. Adventure awaits ...
