I’ve been playing peek-a-boo with my grandson a lot this morning. Now he’s napping, I’ve got a little time to myself. Bravo to all the mums who manage to squeeze some writing in when your child’s asleep.

I’m at Kew Gardens right now and I have to admit the Paris-Brest served in The Orangery might defeat me. Only a quarter left.

To the girl who wasn’t allowed to join the school choir, don’t worry, it may take years but you finally get to sing!

Went to the Tower of London today. Amazingly unhurried and chilled. Very different from last visit 25 years ago.

I scanned through the completed ms of #TheUpgrade this morning and found several formatting errors. I hope these don't affect its chances in the game of submitting to agents and publishers.

I went to the London Book Fair in 2019 with the independent press that published my debut. Although the press has now ceased trading, the experience was memorable. Do have fun if you're going this week!
