Oh I love it too - my daughter painted it for me a few years ago ♥️

Thank you, I love it 😊

Thank you, it definitely helps boost my mood 💛

Thank you 🤗

I’m endlessly fascinated by seeing where writers write, so here’s my little corner (I don’t actually write on this typewriter - I just found it the other day in a junk shop and fell in love with it. Am going to have a go at restoring it…)

This lovely card arrived out of the blue today from a beautiful friend. Totally made my day 🤗🦐

I'm still over the moon that this collection got shortlisted. The stories in it span my whole 20-year career, so it's very special to me, and if it wins, it would be a tremendous acknowledgment of all those years of work.

Anyone else listen to the song ‘Fame’ and half way through the chorus slip into ‘Remember You’re a Womble’? No? Just me then?

‘Remember, remember, remember, remember…’

It’s a seamless transition. Just saying…👀

A square cream-coloured card on a green wallpapered wall in the museum with a quote from Ray Bradbury : I have my favorite cat, who is my paperweight, on my desk whilst I am writing.

Who knew there was a museum especially for cat lovers? Loved this small but fabulous celebration of cats in art, along the canal in Amsterdam😻

Amsterdam has been on my wishlist of cities to visit for decades - and now I’m finally here! First stop, the Van Gogh Museum for the new exhibit - then I’ll be off to find some of Amsterdam’s vegan delights 🤗

Had a lovely swim in the local pool, happily pondering over plot knots in my WIP…only to come out, all refreshed, and find someone had nabbed my towel! Had to drip dry all the way back to the car…😣

The bright yellow cover of A Family Matter by Claire Lynch which shows a photo of a toddler in a living room, seen from the outside of the window. A sticker on the book cover says Winner Nero Book Awards 2025

Just been listening to this gorgeous book. It’s quite short but so beautifully layered you feel like you’ve lived in the characters’ lives for far longer.

It’s probably my favourite film of all time. Every shot is a work of art and it kills me every time. Love the story it’s based on too.

Just re-watched Brokeback Mountain with The Teenager and I am yet again destroyed.

Have fallen so far down a rabbit hole researching my WIP that I’m currently watching a documentary about UFO sightings in small town France in the 1990s - and getting totally sucked in🫣

Market stall in French village with sweet potatoes, onions, potatoes. Behind the stall is a little free library with a messy bunch of books

Market day in our neighbouring village - spot the little free library (cabane à livre) - and yes, I may have been known to secretly organise the books on its shelves when no-one’s looking 🤫
