The great thing about painting is that you can create what you’d like to see. This seems the perfect place to sit and think about life. Maybe you’d like to sit here too? #watercolorpainting #Watercolours

Spring is beautiful here in my English village.

For no particular reason I painted a bulldog. And I kinda like him. 😍

Spring came! A sight for sore eyes.

Adding my scream to this …

Cancelling last minute, very late at night, is shocking - especially for elderly, disabled, and small children. I’m really not sure how easyJet can get away with treating people like this.

My friend’s been stuck at Kos airport 20 hours after late-night easyJet delay then cancellation. Promised hotels never happened; no EJ staff. All night on a towel on floor then flight delayed again today. Final insult - €4.50 food voucher. Truly disgraceful. Alison Green

Singing tonight at my first live gig in many years. Outside at the barn, and what a view! Setting up …

So tomorrow I start teaching English to a Ukrainian family from Kyiv. Feeling wholly inadequate, but off I go! You never know what #retirement will bring. 🇺🇦

First try at a poppy. #watercolours

So delighted to see this! Congratulations Ali Standish (Updates only!)!

What am I doing in the very early days of retirement? Preparing to train as a teacher of English, and learning to draw. It’s Week 1, but getting obsessed! So much to learn!!! 😄

A very, very camouflaged cockapoo with a very, very long cardboard tube. Which may be about as much fun as we’ll be allowed this year, given where the UK is heading ….😭

So amazing to see Kristin Nelson - over in London doing glamorous agent things. ☺️

Congratulations to Mae Respicio's #MG is out 4/9/24!!

The love light is strong for this deal! Congrats to all!

Gorgeous. And so is this unforgettable new novel from Ali Standish (Updates only!).

I loved being on the judging panel. Always exciting to see new talent, and always fascinating to get to discuss that with others. Well done, all you longlisted authors. 👍🏻
