Stunning sky yesterday evening - perfect for a murder-plotting walk 🌞

Too nice not to... 🚴‍♀️🌞🥰 (Now back at my laptop and working hard 😅😁)

Cheeky nip out on the bike before breakfast... just divine 🚴‍♀️🌞🥰

All they need is a zebra crossing... #TheBleatles 😁

When you're in the thick of writing a book, plot pouring out, but... the sun is shining and your bike is calling 😅🚴‍♀️🌞😁

Just needs 'Savaged by a sheep' to make it a bit more Bruncliffe... 🤔😂

Happy World Curlew Day!! One of my favourite birds 🥰 Celebrating with an image of Curlews and Cotton Grass - a stunning print from fellow Daleswoman, the amazingly talented @hestercoxprint.bsky.social

😳🙈😅 Front cover of the @yorkshirepost.co.uk magazine!! Not sure what Ida would make of it - or the fact I was out without a coat 🤣 (Full disclosure - it was mid-March and I was freezing 😂)

End of day head-clearer walk yesterday - although I'm at that point in the new book where my head is just full of plot, so I was mostly contemplating murder... 🤷‍♀️🙈🤣

😲 Well that's sent me reeling like ill-pegged washing in a Dales storm! The fab UK libraries and their users have only gone and nominated me for the CWA Dagger in the Library!!!! Thanks a million! I'm off to lie down with a cup of Ida tea while keeping everything crossed for the shortlist! 🥰

And they are the ones who pay their taxes... couldn't agree with @ronanhession.bsky.social more 😊 #IndieBookshopsRock
