This is my village’s bookshop - we have two pubs, a village shop/post office and The Open Road Books for an area population of 689 people - when we first visited the village it was this little shop that convinced me I could leave London - that’s the power of books!!

A wonderful tribute on
#bbcantiquesroadshow
to my dear mum, Judith Miller last night. She loved being an expert on the show and loved her colleagues and guests. ❤️
Such a lovely tribute to my mum, Judith Miller in The Guardian
“She was the doyenne of the antiques world and of our show. Irreplaceable. And hugely missed.” Fiona Bruce
‘There will be a tribute to Miller in an upcoming episode of the show.’
Over the Easter weekend I lost my beloved mum, Judith Miller. We are all so heartbroken she was the very centre of our family and we were so very proud of her 💔
Author and antiques expert Judith Miller dies, aged 71

Here we are when I went into the studio to record some special content 🤩
It’s been a year since I lost my mum - a lot has happened in that time and I wish that she could have been here by my side… she would have made the hard times easier and the good times brighter!
Hold on tight to those you love ❤️ 💔
I’m so excited that the

I’m a bit run down - so I started watching this for a laugh but👇 is that a author driving a sports car!! The editor ‘practically wrote the book’ 😂
Also - and the most annoying - why are they drinking champagne at a book launch and not warm white wine…. 😂 😂😂
More to come…
This👇is the edit I’m currently working through - after being off sick for a week
So why is it that every time I sit down to do a hug structural edit on one book - a story idea - for an entirely different book always demands to be written instead? 🤣😭🤣
I was signing books at
@NorwichStones
today… and admiring their window display of my book - while I was there I got a message from
@Waterstones
Sudbury to say they had sold out and could I pop by and sign more!!
It was a joy filled day!! 🥰❤️🥰
