The Sarah Nicholson Writes Blog
Welcome to my blog, where you will find new content below. Older content written over the last two decades is grouped into three topics: Unravelling is about the early days of grief after losing my husband; Rerevalling is about putting the pieces back together; and the third part is about my search for lost glitter.
Just beause this is the start of something new don’t expect anything different – I will still overshare, not just about writing but real life, because everyone has a story – welcome to mine.

I’ve never seen it before…
A is for Alibi and Application
I re-read a book over the Christmas period. I don’t often re-read anything because I have so many new books on my shelf I want to dive into.
Staying in or going out…
The wild wind that has blown away 2024 and ushered in the new year with a vengeance.
I would love to go out for a new year’s walk,
A Family Christmas
A family Christmas can be delightful but despairing at the sight of the growing washing up pile I took a moment to myself to write this little festive tale… for anyone just about pushed to the limit.
Back In Time
Today I’m looking backwards and sharing a story I originally posted on my Re-ravelling blog back in December 2012.
It’s beginning to look like Christmas…
Is it beginning to look like Christmas? Maybe not quite like I used to know. Everything changes when you have grown up children.
Mid-Life Revelation
I find November a difficult month, I think many people do as the days get shorter and the weather more foul than fair.
