Wonderful gig Brighton Dome last night, with Robert Macfarlane and Johnny Flynn - thank you for evoking the natural wonders of Sussex with words and music (you would have loved it Ben Addy)

Thrilled to get home to find this beauty on my doormat. Proud to be in the latest anthology of ⁦thi wurd⁩ - thanks to the brilliant team.

Had a wonderful time celebrating at the launch of ⁦Karen McLeod 👩‍✈️✈️🏳️‍🌈⁩ ‘s wonderful new book Lifting Off (⁦⁦⁦⁦Muswell Press⁩ ) and hanging with my MA made-for-life buds ⁦shelley hastings⁩ ⁦Jennifer Howze⁩ ⁦S. Bhattacharya-Woodward⁩

Being acknowledged (along with my lovely MA group) by a writer you respect Karen McLeod 👩‍✈️✈️🏳️‍🌈 is deeply touching and conveys the importance of a writing community. Please read Karen's book Lifting Off Muswell Press

Started at new short story at a writers’ event organised by ⁦⁦New Writing South⁩ at Yellow Wave Cafe, Brighton. What a place to be inspired 😊

I do enjoy having something to read with my coffee though, to be fair, it’s not usually the coffee itself 😊 ⁦Robert Macfarlane⁩
