Mum, wife, dog lover and book dragon (store more than I get through 🤣) 💗

Love theatre, heritage, nature and learning 🎭🌴

From Liverpool ❤️

I'm currently listening to The Secret Life of Albert Entwhistle by Matt Cain and LOVING it. I have cried with Albert, cringed with him and am now cheering him on - you can do it Albert! Highly recommend 💗

I'm celebrating #PrideMonth with my novels, all of which feature characters breaking free from the shame they’ve been made to feel, embracing their difference, learning to love their true selves and moving towards a place of pride. So there's never been a better time to read them! ❤️🏳️‍🌈❤️

Spent my Saturday at Palace Ponies mucking out Magic with my son ✨❤️

Palace Ponies are trying hard to generate income to remain open, so worth looking into if you are wanting a starter riding lesson for 5 to 10 year olds 🐴 They are based in L8 6QR

Who knew Spotify was so specific? One more hour to go to until I can finish Weyward - I'm on a cliffhanger!!!

Congratulations to all the winners at the Liverpool Tourism Awards, from all of the Palm House team.

What a wonderful celebration of our amazing city. It always makes me incredibly proud of my home city and the people in it.

This statue was lent to Liverpool Women's Hospital over 20 years ago and today it came back home to the Palm House.

My grandad was the eldest followed by 3 girls. My grandad & the youngest remained in Liverpool, the middle two children were sent to Australia as Barnardos orphans. We hoped they at least had each other, but they only met once.Today my dad met his cousin.

I am from Liverpool, but spent 2 years in Japan teaching and was placed in a tiny village that randomly had an annual John Lennon concert 🤣 What are the chances 🤣

Being in the top 4% makes me think not many people might know that you can listen to audiobooks on Spotify as I've hardly used it - so sharing in case useful to anyone 😁 #Booksky #audiobooks #books

My favourite wedding advice saying is

"Marriage is falling in love many times, but always with the same person" 💖

Today is our 17 year anniversary. I'm grateful we have continuously fell back in love with each other. I couldn't go through life with anyone else 💕💗💞
