Might I be writing another Pocket Novel set in Puffin Bay? What do you think? Thanks to Charlotte Strawbridge for the wonderful notebook and puffin print, which I can't wait to see framed and up on the wall of my writing room. #writers #artwork #inspiration #puffin

Autumn in Ayrshire, Scotland and the colours are glorious. We stepped into a November of blue sky and sunshine during a break to mark Mr.M’s penultimate chemo treatment. It may not yet be the end of his treatment journey, but we travel through it facing the sun. 🍁
