Took this picture in the Lake District on my crappy old phone and I love it. If I were to give it a name I would call it 'Hope'

New Years Eve is difficult as it forces reflection. I began 2022 with a mother, an 11 yr relationship, a secure job in a team that were like family, a forever home, fab neighbours and nearby friends, two gorgeous cats and the sweetest soul of a dog. I lost all of that this year.

It's just occurred to me that verrucas were taken very seriously in the 70s weren't they? I mean, sexual harassment & smoking at work was fine, drink driving was sort of allowed, seat belts were optional BUT you had to wear a little sock thing to avoid spreading verrucas.

The perfect shot - all four looking out at once! Can you see them? Dog owner near to me has four huskies & rightly keeps them securely locked in. But the #dogs couldn't see what was going on so they cut out viewing holes for them 🤣 👀👀👀👀 💙 Their little feet 🐾🐾🐾🐾

Paid for a man's shopping today. My son said "That was nice, but why would you?" I did it because I heard his card rejected twice, he had a trolley of food and two little kids who were quiet as mice. I did it because I will NEVER forget how awful it felt when it happened to me

Funny old day. Scattered mum's ashes at the beach. She loved beaches and would always paddle in the sea so it seemed apt. I found it really hard to have any emotional connection to the little box of ashes though. I feel like I did the right thing for her

My 1st standalone book is out next week. Most bookshops are closed. I’m v sad about this but I’m also v happy booksellers don’t have to put themselves at risk If you’d like The Last Thing to Burn try contacting your local store. They should be able to get it to you in a safe way
