Surf Mama et Ses Déesses in Biarritz
Surf Mama et ses Déesses. Exhibition at Jazz the Glass in Biarritz, opens 6th December The paintings in the show tell stories of women, real and imaginary.

Travel Writers Evening at Stanfords Maps
I’ve always loved Stanfords Maps, I used to hang out there when I was an art student at St. Martins just round the corner, flicking through guide books and maps, taking a virtual world tour in my lunch break long before the internet existed. Then I met Mo Tomaney and we progressed to actually buying the maps and setting off hitch-hiking round europe. The maps would come back like carnets de voyages crumpled and torn, with wine stains and messages on the […]

Surf Mama by Bel Mooney in the Mail
Riding the wave of a mid-life crisis….. Once upon a time, in a fifty-something crisis, I set myself the task of learning to ride a motorcycle : a big sexy Harley Davidson. Among my group of L-plated wannabe bikers was a woman just a bit younger than me, who told me she was doing it because she was ‘tired of riding pillion and looking at the back of hubby’s helmet’. She had the guts to pass her test (sadly, I didn’t) […]

Miss Surf Mama at the Alternative Miss World
It had been a long time since I did any performance art…. I was organising my book tour, and had already decided that I wasn’t really a stand up and read aloud kind of author and planned events on beaches and riverbanks, in Irish bars and East London drinking clubs. How could I possibly resist an invitation to enter Andrew Logan’s Alternative Miss World at Shakespeare’s Globe???? It wasn’t really part of my book tour, it was more like joining […]

Surf Mama in The Connexion
Really nice ’20 minute book review’ in The Connexion. Just a little disclaimer – I was only referring to my own ‘dowdy 70s layered haircut ‘- no-one else has one, except perhaps the sheep . Need to make that clear or I may never drink Guinness in Dingle again! It had never occurred to me that wetsuit manufacturers do not offer a maternity range but Wilma Johnson noticed it as she was summing up the good (three children) and the bad (a […]
