I’ve put an item on Vinted for £20 and someone has offered me £19.99 for it. I declined it out of principle 🫤

A lovely tribute to Steph on the latest episode of Ambulance. An emotional episode 💔

Well I’m officially into the final year of my 40s, today is my 49th birthday! 🥳 It’s been another year full of adventures with lots more to come, kicking off with Vietnam and Cambodia in a few weeks time! ☺️

Thank you so much to Jennie Godfrey and @HutchHeinemann for sending me a proof of The Barbecue at No 9, which I’ll be diving into very soon as I’m just too excited!! Out in February! 💚

Always disappointing when we need to send one of these.

Really loved this first episode of #Ambulance set in Yorkshire, with some familiar faces. I laughed and cried! Very proud of all of my colleagues 💚

This was a heartbreaking watch 💔

Ah, you can always rely on Twitter to remind you why you don’t bother much with social media anymore.

Have to say that @ThermeBucuresti is well worth a visit. Fun and relaxing!

This is a brilliant book of friendship, family and relationships set in the beautiful but very competitive world of ballet 🩰 I found the descriptions wonderfully poetic. If you don’t win a copy, I’d definitely recommend a read.

UK only, entries close midnight 5 Oct. Good luck!

To celebrate the paperback publication of City of Night Birds, I have two copies to give away (one here and one on Instagram). To be in with a chance of winning, ensure you’re following me and @OneworldNews, like, RT and comment #CityOfNightBirds below.

Time for a girly trip. Very nice to have had this trip fully organised by someone else (one of the downsides to solo travel is literally doing everything yourself)! See you soon, Bucharest! ✈️

I’m very grateful for all your kind thoughts and messages, and will continue to dip into social media now and then, particularly to tell you about books I’ve loved! If anyone wishes to contact me for any reason whatsoever, there’s a contact page on the Linktree in my bio! 🫶🏻

I know “announcements” about leaving social media don’t go down well with some, but as I’ve received a number of messages asking if I’m ok, I just wanted to clarify… I’ve not given up the ghost completely but in the grand scheme of life, social media is now my lowest priority.
