Great visit to the small but perfectly formed Ice Age Art exhibition at Cliffe Castle Museum in Keighly as part of @bradford2025.co.uk Great to see the pieces, and some more local flints! The cave projection was particularly good. Recommended!

Very pleased with the @gailmyerscough.co.uk print that I got for my birthday. I grew up very close to Roseberry Topping 😊

So I made the #mslexia shortlist 😊 I’ve known for a little while but thought this was a good opportunity to post. I’m absolutely delighted! Congratulations to my fellow short listees, the other finalists and the winner!

Holiday at Home Day 8: Day out in Birmingham. Went to the NT’s back to back houses- these were much smaller than the one I lived in as a student in Bradford, then, fulfilling my husband’s dream, the Pen Museum (better than expected!). More info on the alt text on the photos.

Holiday at Home Day 7: trip to the UK Games Expo in Birmingham. We’ve not been for about six years- it has grown massively since then. Great to see so many people in the hobby and so many creative people, too.

Holiday at Home Day 2: Trip to RHS Bridgewater in Manchester. Wind meant a lot of the site was closed but entry reasonably discounted. Nice to have a wander- even saw a pheasant and her chicks amongst the plants!

Great day at the first Bradford @writershq.bsky.social retreat. I’ve totally missed these. I managed to reread my WiP which I hadn’t, um, opened for longer than I’d realised, then got about 3000 words down. 🌟💪 Good to chat to other writers too. Thanks to Tabitha for hosting.
