I needed a good quality photo and so while daughter - who did photography A Level - has been at home from uni for reading week, we've been out and about taking pics with her camera, making the most of autumn colours. These are the two best ones - left or right though 🤔

Recently took my daughter shopping when home from university for reading week. I picked this up and put it down again, saying couldn't justify buying yet another pricey notebook but how much I loved the colour. And she sent it to me for Mother's Day. So lovely

Some days writing seems so very difficult. Other days, like today, the words flow and you write 1200 words just like that. Getting out and about for research trips has helped provide a bit of inspiration this week, I think
