Thicket - an underused word
Blue Thicket 1974

So here it is my first blog! It is an early Christmas pressie to myself.
I am not sure how I thought of the name. I don't think I have ever used the word thicket in my vocab ever! Since rediscovering it and spreading the word about my blog I have been asked what a thicket is. I think it is a crazy bushy area that may even be a bit prickly in spots. My Mother asked "what were you doing in the thicket?" well that isn't the point but I think the blog name is a metaphor for a creative spot.
I hope you enjoy it.

i like the word thicket, and will most likely read this blog every day at work. thanks. please let me know when i start to comment too much and get annoying.
I love your name choice...but even more your random reasons for it, which make it perfect!
Very envious of your ice-skating adventures, which look completely magical.
Thanks for visiting my blog.
