My Mum and I spent all of July and some of August in the UK (with a week at the Romance Writers of America conference in the US in the middle of July for me), and I was barely home long enough to do some washing before I jetted off again last week, this time across the country to Perth for the Romance Writers of Australia conference, and to see G&#8217;s family there.<\/p>\n<p>Now I&#8217;m home again, I&#8217;ve caught up on some sleep, dug the winter woollies out of the wardrobe (-5 Celsius here this morning!), and have a few weeks at home now before I head off to GenreCon in Brisbane in October.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve downloaded the photos of my UK trip from the camera and will post some soon. Mum and I had a lovely trip, with time in London, the Lakes District, Cornwall, the Isles of Scilly, and rural Buckinghamshire &#8211; beautiful landscapes everywhere, and yes, plenty of inspiration for stories! I loved it all, but I think the Isles of Scilly was my favourite place:<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2789\" style=\"width: 490px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/bronwynparry.com\/2013\/08\/catch-up\/20130727hughtownstmarysharbour\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2789\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2789\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2789\" alt=\"Hugh Town, Isles of Scilly\" src=\"https:\/\/bronwynparry.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/20130727HughTownStMarysHarbour.jpg\" width=\"480\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bronwynparry.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/20130727HughTownStMarysHarbour.jpg 480w, https:\/\/bronwynparry.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/20130727HughTownStMarysHarbour-150x112.jpg 150w, https:\/\/bronwynparry.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/20130727HughTownStMarysHarbour-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-2789\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Hugh Town on St Mary&#8217;s Island, in the Isles of Scilly<\/p><\/div>\n<p>More photos soon, I promise!
