It's St Swithin's Day so you know what they say!
No plans to venture out in the rain for me - think I've broken my toe and have the manuscript for book two to get ready to send to my agent before the end of the week.

A cool breeze and damp air this morning here in Northumberland. Perfect hosta growing conditions, helped too by the slug-eating hedgehog spotted trundling down the path last night. 🦔

Our roses have struggled this year, but today, on the first anniversary of Mum's death, the yellow rose she bought me has come into bloom.

It's the anniversary of my mum's death this week - a whole year has gone by, and it's complicated!

Thinking of my mum who died this time last year as I pick the rhubarb. Mum loved a dish of rhubarb, preferably with some rice pudding on the side.

Starting a slow travel series, Wrinklies On The Road over in my online magazine. We take a trip down memory lane in this first article, and travel to Spain & Portugal in a converted Dodge truck, me pregnant and with a toddler in tow.

Welcome to RIPE.
You can look forward to writing about post-trauma badassery, unapologetic ageing, gardening as witchcraft, menopausal resurrection, van life joyrides, better late than never publication, and neurospicy chaos.

I wrote this on 1 October 2023 just after the felling of the tree that I could see from the hillside here and to which we walked on countless occasions
The two men who were charged with its felling have today been found guilty.

I'm very excited to be coming to the end of the first draft of the second book in the Molly McFlynn series, but I need your help!
What might you write on a placard if you were going to a protest to save an important tree from being felled?

Love this photo sent by Vanessa, one of my followers. It shows many of the elements from my story, placed on a piece of recycled knitwear from my days as The Woolly Pedlar.
I love how loyal folk have been, no matter what hats I've been wearing.

Treated myself to a day of nature journalling with pen and paint with Hexham based artist Steve Pardue in Allendale as part of the Highlights Rural Touring Scheme.
A morning of calm, reflection and good company.

We have triplets! Three baby leverets, discovered while Tim was planting potatoes, nestled against the stone wall of the greenhouse.
The mother hare can be seen in our wild garden early in the morning and late in the evening, as she comes to care for her young. Feeling so very blessed.

Bloody brilliant! Been looking forward to the release of The Best of Everything by @kitdewaal.bsky.social for yonks.
I love her writing! It cuts straight to the core, and has your heart aching for her characters right from the off. Oh, Paulette! Life can be so unfair.
