2016 was a weird year. Of those we lost; Bowie, George Michael, Victoria Wood, Alan Rickman & more, I find myself pining for Carrie Fisher. Her writing gives me so much joy.

Hannah and Verna's friendship fractures when one accuses the other's husband of infidelity. A stranger's letter from Italy reveals devastating secrets, but is the damage too deep for the friends to reconcile? #Books #Writing

Someone got there before me, replaced Alison Steadman for BJ. I’ve added an apt sticker, could get some real ones printed, but then I’d have to buy the book for defacing it 😬
£15 quid to read that narcissistic, bloviating dross, nah!

Fog on The Tyne all mine on this moody morning.
Come rain hail or shine, whatever the weather, I’ll never be tired of seeing those bridges
