On a DIY Writing Retreat in beautiful Pembrokeshire. So far, done lots of reading, napping, and eating. Writing, not so much. But here's a nice pic of the sunset over the Cleddau, taken from the cottage garden. 😍✍️🏡

Happy New Year to all my Bluesky pals! Got lots of writing goals planned, but if the next spin around the sun simply brings better health, I'll be chuffed! 🌞 🤞🍾🥂 #NewYear #GoodTidings #BetterTimesAhead

Merry Christmas from John and Wolfie, looking sharp in their Christmas Collars. They met Santa yesterday, got treats, and chose a toy each! (Santa's put them on his Nice list - obviously hasn't been watching their antics this year!) Oh, the joys of dog ownership! 😍🎄🎅 ##dogsofbluesky #Christmas #dogs

Ooh, a spooky two-parter, and just in time for that great Christmas tradition of sharing ghost stories around the tree. Scary, tragic, full of '70s spirit, and guaranteed to give you goosebumps. Boo! 👻😢 #ghoststory #spookyseason

My latest article is out, and it's a must-read if you're a fan of Eggnog! No, just me then 😂 Seriously, homemade nog is easy to make and delicious to drink. I've even shared my top secret recipe! There's still time to get it whipped up and in the fridge, ready for 🎅's arrival, so give it a whirl! 🎄🦌

Just doing the final edit on my two-part tale of terror, which will be in @nation.cymru on the 23rd & 24th. Perfect timing because who doesn't love a good ghost story at Christmas! Boo! @cambriastories.bsky.social #ghostlytales #ghoststory #christmas

Had a go at #toptweettuesday over on Twitter. What a fabulous group of creative people, submitting poems for our enjoyment! Today's theme was winter, and this is my first attempt at imagistic verse.

Just had a tiny sip of my Christmas nog, and I feel it's going to be a good vintage this year. Already has some mellowing going on, and it's smooth and morish. Roll on Christmas Eve when it gets a proper unveiling 😋🎅💖😉 #eggnog #Christmas #bringiton

Morning all 👋 It's another grey day here in Swansea, so while my OH cleans the house (fair play, he's a domestic god🧹), John's doing a spot of cleaning too. His target = Wolfie's ears. Why, I dunno, but it's a weekly routine, and Wolfie doesn't appear to mind too much. Dogs, eh? 🤷🏼‍♀️ #dogsofbluesky

Just ordered some Christmas cards from @sketchywelsh.bsky.social (and a couple of signed prints - an early Christmas present to me😁🎄). So, if you're stuck for festive gift inspiration, visit sketchywelsh.com - you're sure to find something lovely 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 #giveagift #shoplocal #christmasshopping

It's a 'curl up on the sofa and doze' kinda day here in South Wales, so I'm following John & Wolfie's advice to the letter. 🛋🥱 But hope there's blue skies above you, wherever you are.

Posted this yesterday, but my lovely Anwen didn't get the attention she deserves, so am reposting in the hope that other mobility-challenged, #disabled bluesky-ers happen upon her. #citywalker #adventures
