Mostly pinching other people’s pics as I only took a few, but yet another fabulous #TheakstonsCrime in the bag, my tenth in total. A weekend packed with conversations, catch ups, copious drinks and more belly laughs than I can count. Only 368 days and counting next year.

99p for a book I’ve literally shed blood for (long story - ask me at an event and I’ll show you the pics if you’re not squeamish) - limited time only though. You snooze, you lose.

If there’s a more melancholy canine out there, I’ve yet to meet them. The cause you ask? A whole five seconds of not being the centre of attention.
