An early start for Stanley as he carries out his voting duties #dogsatpollingstations

This photo made me laugh. Went to Knaresborough for a big walk by the river. Stanley couldn’t get the hang of the gaps in the wooden pathway so I had to carry him over a stretch of them.

I don’t think I’m thick skinned enough to parent a teenager. Thank goodness for the uncomplicated affection of the dog!

Just done some almost dead bee revival with some sugary water and a flower head 😀

🚨 GIVEAWAY ALERT 🚨 The Fellowship of #Puzzlemakers is 1 month old, so I’m giving away a signed and dedicated copy of the beautiful first edition (with jigsaw cut!) to one UK reader. Just like + RT to be in with a chance of winning. I’ll pick a winner at 5pm on Sunday!

Home for the next couple of days

Will I be the only parent at pick up in pyjamas?!

Stanley accompanied us to vote this morning #dogsatpollingstations

Whoop! Made it to the top of the North Yorkshire Libraries reservation list so I’m getting stuck into Ben Myers new book. 😀 love getting the “your book is ready to collect” text 😍

This is incredible. Such a talent and so true.

Hi New Look I’ve tried multiple times to contact you via chat and email with no response. £150 of online order placed in November still hasn’t arrived. Yodel say it’s back to you. How can I get someone to actually talk to me about this lost order?? Thanks

Due to being poorly, I'm selling tickets to David O’Doherty at the Leadmill tonight on Twickets (face value or less) twckts.com/NwEt #Twickets Hope someone wants them, he’s so funny, I’m gutted to be missing out.

Last ditch sales pitch, offers accepted, for two tickets to see the fantastic @phlaimeaux tonight The Leadmill on Twickets. twckts.com/ArHO

I think what’s really making this viewing experience special for my husband is my insightful comments like “that colour shirt isn’t doing him any favours” “What is they mis-hit and kill someone in the audience” and “ooh he has a lovely smile” 😂😂 #TheMasters2025
