Aren’t tulips just so joyful?

Ooh that looks good. Thanks for the recommendation.

Sunday morning. What are you reading?

Thanks Shirley. Have you been to Gladstone’s? It’s well worth a visit.

A mini meeting of writers at Gladstone’s library. (With cake). 😋

t was daylight on my run this morning. First time this year! Spring is coming. 🎉🌱🍃

I roasted them with olive oil and they were very nice! Tasted like kale but a better (less rubbery) texture.

These Kalettes came in my veg box this week. Apparently they’re a cross between kale and sprouts. Any idea how to cook them?🤷‍♀️

I’m good thanks. Would also like the rain to stop!😅 Although it is a good excuse to stay in and read.x

Thanks Shirley. Hope you’re well?x

Caught up with the Novelistas today.

Thank you library users. Thank you libraries. When author earnings are so low (the average writer earns £7k per year) I’m really grateful for this payment.🙏

Thank you! That’s very kind. X

I dream of seeing them on screen. They’d make such a fabulous drama series. 📺

Had a great day in Hebden Bridge catching up with the Miss Moonshine gang (years ago we wrote a series of books together about a magical shopkeeper called Miss Moonshine). Great to see everyone.

Thank you Kathy! Was just thinking about you because you’d been quiet lately. Hope all is well in your world lovely lady.x

I recorded this before my visit so I can tell you now that I had a great time talking to the women. We ran it as a Q&A session and they asked some great questions. I’d never been in a prison before (so much locking and unlocking of doors!) but I really enjoyed visiting the library and classrooms.

Happy Christmas everyone! Wishing you a peaceful holiday.

I’m so thrilled that Christmas at the French Repair Shop is reviewed in People’s Friend magazine! (My books are never normally in the magazines).

Lovely prize of Audio book CD of Christmas at the French Repair Shop by Sophie Claire, two bookmarks, lovely wooden star and pen and a lovely Christmas Card that I won in Sophie’s recent newsletter competition

I’m so happy to have won a copy in your newsletter competition of the Audiobook CD of your #Book
and for the lovely card, and goodies. Thank you 🙂

If like me you’re feeling overwhelmed by how much there is still to do, here’s a soothing video for you. (The sound of my clickety-clackety sewing machine always brings my heart rate down.)
You’ve got this.💪

Well that was an emotional Strictly final. 🪩💃

Jack and Amélie were perfect for each other… until one day they weren’t. And when Jack’s attempt at reconciliation goes wrong, he finds himself locked in Amélie’s van.
