Happy Valentine’s Day! I have been married for over twelve years now and my children are 7, 6, & 3, so Valentine’s Day is not the event it used to be — but the love is still strong, and that’s what counts. #ValentinesDay #Love #LovePoem #Poetry

My lovely husband surprised me with my own desk and writing area in the office. I have adorned it with lovely gifts from friends. So grateful to have a dedicated space to write 🥰

@lukejohnemmett.co.uk has kindly put the starter packs together to create a long list which you can then add to your feed to get posts just from people on that list, if you follow that. Very useful. Thanks.
