Perfect combination! Silent reading at the craft beer shop with #Dumplin’ by @andimjulie.bsky.social and a lush rhubarb sour 😋 My favourite night of the week.

Mega proud! I have walked 200 miles since Jan 1st, doubling the @epilepsysociety.bsky.social challenge target of 100. I’m 52nd of the 676 #Challenge100 members and we’ve tripled our fundraising goal 🙌🏻

I popped in a cheeky pre-order for The Hometown Bookshop by Jenna Warren (owner of Book Corner in Saltburn) 📕

A great day for an after-work walk. Just us and the gulls 🌊

Photograph of the beach showing rows of groynes receding into the background. The sand is wet and the waves are coming in slowly on the right hand side. A late afternoon photograph of an almost empty beach. A group of gulls and oyster catchers are standing on the shore as the waves flow around them.

Loving my before-work walks 🌅
Sunrise over the beach. Tide out, oyster catchers on wet sand. Soft pink and blue skies over the sea with wind turbines in the background. Orange and pink sunrise with the sea lapping at a boat slipway

We’re having to do our #Challenge100 walks in the dark during the week. Lots of clear skies and a gorgeous moon to make it worthwhile 🌒

Full moon reflected on the sea Sunset over houses Orange, almost full moon over the sea.

Another 8 miles today and all of this to enjoy ❤️ #LoveWhereYouLive #Challenge100 #epilepsysociety

By day 9 of our #Challenge100 walk supporting @epilepsysociety.bsky.social I had hit 25 miles. Completely amazing for a couch potato like me. Heading out for some sub-zero walks today to get that figure higher.

Book 6 was Devil’s Advocate, an #XFiles origin story for #DanaScully, written by @jonathanmaberry.bsky.social (my first non-zombie book of his). Great to get back into the #Scullyverse.

#BookSky💙📖
The cover of Devil’s Advocate featuring a black background covered in nails in shades of blue, green and orange. The title and author are written diagonally in the shape of an X.

I’m finishing off the books I started over Christmas. My 4th was The Heist by @janetevanovich.bsky.social and @leegoldberg.bsky.social. Loved the banter and the next few are on my kindle and ready to go.
Book cover of The Heist. Lime green background with the silhouettes of a man and women in black. The design is drawn to look like a jigsaw.

Book 3 is #OpeningTheWardrobe by Lucy Adlington and #TheHistoryWardrobe team. This short, fun read takes you through fashion from the 1900s to 1990s. The team host events across the UK and they’re a hoot!
