And the very bottom of the hall.
An empty wine cellar. Dimly lit, it is a brick lined tunnel.

Did the hidden histories tour at Wollaton today so I got to see the very top...
A very intricate sandstone turret with lead roofing in the foreground.

It's getting close to party time! Just a few days to go. The proofs for my gothic historical novel Spider, Spider are going to be available at the book party which is very exciting!
Text reads: I'll be at the book party, Enchanted Summer, Saturday July 5th, Bristol. The background is a forest lit with fairy lights.

My proofs came today! Molly was not very excited, but I was.
A bound proof of Spider, Spider by LC Winter leans up against Molly, a grey tabby cat. She is snoozing and pretending not to notice.

For such a short book it's taken me a long time to read this. I've spent much of it on the verge of tears. A beautiful book that I've consumed in small nibbles.

A calm moment after the rain.
A droplet hangs from an unfurling bracken leaf. Tiny versions of the leaves behind it can be seen inside the drop.

Sitting on the back doorstep with a glass of fizz, celebrating my book announcement with the cat (not pictured: husband, also celebrating).
Some legs, a glass of fizzy wine, a cat and a garden in the background, complete with hose and weeds.

At the National Justice Museum in Nottingham today.
The women's cell window lets in dim light. A small table with jug and basin stands below the window with a bench and a bare wooden floor.

One of the side effects of choosing cats partly because they looked so angry in their shelter photos is now I have cats that look pissed off in every photo. Did not think this through.
A cat sits on a garden bench looking grumpy. A daffodil peeks in one side of the picture.

Dropped into @fiveleavesbooks.bsky.social today and left with some pretty cool loot.
Four books piled on a cushion. They are 'The Vampire' by Nick Groom, 'Monsters' by Claire Dederer, 'Unwinding Anxiety' by Dr Judson Brewer and 'The Poison Path Herbal' by Coby Michael.

Lily has recently discovered the twin joys of laps and the sofa and seems to be feeling like the cat who found the cheat codes to life.

And yet in every photo she looks kinda grumpy.
A grey cat is curled up tightly on a red blanket. She peers out from under her eyebrows.

Had a trip to page45 recently and bought a small pile of graphic novels. This one was wonderfully unsettling. Now for volume two...
'The nice house on the lake' published by DC black label, this is volume one. The top half of a frightened woman's face emerges from water full of bones, a lit building in the background.

I love robins in cold weather. Like fluffy balls with beaks and spindly legs. Apologies for the crap photo

Rolled well on the Xmas book loot table again...
A pile of books on a sofa. They are a 2025 almanac, how not to write a novel, a book on forensic science, the first in a crime series, Christmas ghost stories, world of winners, underworlds and a book of knitting patterns inspired by Tolkien.

Pretty knitting stuff came in the post today. I don't have the skills for any of this stuff yet 🤣
The front cover of the book 'Magical Knits from the North: by K Sarjanoja and M Mort. A navy blue cover with yellow-gold writing has a picture of a woman wearing a knitted capelet in blue with brown wolves worked in colour work.

Poppy the dog says welcome to all the new blue sky folks.
A black cocker spaniel lies on her back between a person's feet, ears spread, a bone in her mouth and a doggy smile on her face.

Lily not looking welcoming here, looking a bit forbidding tbh, but in reality she's very friendly and welcomes you with purrs and requests for treats.
A cat sits on a fence post in front of a house. She looks very stern and upright.

More friends from work. This one's a particularly fun guy.

Sorry sorry sorry.
An attractive, bell shaped fungi in the leaf litter of a wood. I think it's a shaggy ink cap. The edges of its cap are disintegrating and turning upwards.

Well, I got the cats neatly stacked, so that's one job off the list.
Two cats in a cat tree. A grey one is awake in a lower bed, a grey tabby sleeps in the top bed.
