I’ve completed the final mile of my 44-mile walk in October to raise money in memory of Bowelbabe Dame Deborah James who died from bowel cancer aged 44. I suffered from a Stage Three bowel cancer in the last two years so please donate at fundraise.cancerresearchuk.org/page/simons-... - thanks

Massive thank you! Your support has raised £365 for @cancerresearchuk.org. Today’s walk took me over looking down onto my childhood home - thank you so much to everyone who’s supported me - If you can bung a few quid to help save lives, visit fundraise.cancerresearchuk.org/page/simons-...

I’ve done my first two miles of the 44 I’m planning in memory of Dame Deborah James. I’ve suffered from bowel cancer as she did, so please donate if you can fundraise.cancerresearchuk.org/page/simons-...

Dramatic skies over Kendal tonight

@jayrayner1.bsky.social gutted to find out via my wife reading your book in the sun today that your inspiration to become a restaurant critic wasn’t the story you told me to write in 1986 which gave me my first byline in Leeds Student “Sarnies War” but something else entirely. Ruined my street cred!

What a game to get to. 7-0!! #mot

First trip to Elland Road for 18 months due to #cancer. And my old hometown club Harrogate Town put up a great fight #leedsunited

Beautiful view of Kendal with the fells to the north

I love this film so had slight trepidation going to the Stavely Players performing a radio play of it. I needn’t have worried - it was fabulous and the Old Laundry Theatre in Bowness is beautiful!

Without libraries I would never have come across this - which I thoroughly enjoyed

Better than the first - really recommend this for fans of detective stories.@hollyhauthor.bsky.social really writes in an engaging way - hopefully there are more to come!

@hollyhauthor.bsky.social I picked up this in our local library and really enjoyed it - thank you for writing such an engaging book which I really recommend. Are there more adventures to come please?

Sometimes you’ve just got to start getting into the Christmas spirit early!!

Seals at Donna Nook in Lincolnshire. Fabulous!

#northernlights over Kendal - never seen anything like it in Cumbria
