My hayfever is OFF THE CHARTS this year. Feel like death. Anyone else?!

I published my first book at 41. Second one I will be 43. Mid life is where it’s all at!

Too. Much. Pre. Summer.

I really like this platform. I’m glad I came, everyone is very friendly and I’m meeting more of my readers on here which is brilliant!

At 42, this garden has become my total happy place! At 22, I would have taken the full piss out of today me. God I love getting older- giving zero f**cks about what any else thinks!

Happy earth day. I really hope we can get our shit together soon as a species so we can become the stewards we are meant to be.

As I get older, I increasingly realise that cats have got life totally nailed. Sleep all day. Eat. Get tummy rubs. Stay within 100m of your house. Hang around with cat people. Hiss at things that piss you off. Do as you please and ignore all the rules.

This is my first book, Goddess with a Thousand Faces. It’s a bold exploration of 10 world goddesses that combines storytelling with history! Out now!

Refusing to share the "reconstruction" of the face of a woman buried in the Shaft Graves at Mycenae. No, this doesn't let us "look at the face of the past". No, it's not surprising a modern reconstruction (ignoring all the actual grave finds discussed in the article!) looks "incredibly modern" 🏺
