Enjoying a couple of days in Madrid after attending the fabulous @saloneurope.bsky.social Madrid salon. Went to the Robert Capa exhibition yesterday and got lost in his photos. Walked between magnificent buildings in this beautiful city. Such a treat!

Been in a bit of a slump lately. Tired, ill, grieving the loss of my beautiful dog, India. Today, though, a good breakfast and a new book. Both my children are back for the summer. Things are getting better 💕 #WritingCommunity

Just a little tribute to my angel who left us yesterday. Spreading her furry Labrador wings and flying to her heaven: a place with an endless supply of chicken and frozen chips. My heart is broken 💜🌸❤️

Okay so it took me a while to finish Demon Copperhead as life has been hectic and it’s long! But finish it, I did. I absolutely loved it! I know some complain it’s too long, but I couldn’t get enough! Thoroughly hooked. #WritingCommunity
Finally getting round to reading this. I’m only a few pages in and I’m completely astounded! What a voice the protagonist has! Great stuff. Happy Sunday all! #WritingCommunity
