The sun going down over Lake Como - beautiful day

#RecommendedReads27 - Helle's Hound is a charming, tasty and fiendishly clever mystery in which our heroic sleuths can be relied upon to follow their gut – to many of the capital’s finest eateries - which adds an extra piquancy, given that the victim was eaten by her Wolfhound.

The end of an era 😔

Researching the next #book, Bodysnatchers - looking out over an utterly beautiful #Derwentwater - and they call this work 😉

#RecommendedReads28 I’m not accusing @TariqAshkanini of having first-hand experience of what happens in this shocking, layered and emotionally true story, (I wouldn’t dare) – but it certainly feels like it. Dark, tense and vivid, #TheMidnightKing is one of my books of the year.

Beauty tips anyone? Just ask Princess Penelope

Many thanks to Ruth Dinsdale for this pithy little review 😊

Some thoughts from the #european parliament

When Eddie how told Alexander Isak he could be a great STRIKER was there perhaps something lost in translation? #nufc #PremierLeague #traitor
