I’ve been hanging out with ghosts at West Horsley Place in Surrey. Loved it! Really recommend if you want a fun day out with or without kids #BBCGhosts #ButtonHouse

Need to work on my angry writer face ahead of today’s @societyofauthors.bsky.social demonstration outside Meta. In all seriousness, I’m bloody furious at this shameless and relentless devaluing of our work #DoTheWriteThing

I think what’s stayed with me most from my mum is her favourite phrases. Right now, if she’s looking down, she’s telling me my desk “looks like a bomb’s hit it” I love that I can still hear her

Over on Instagram, I see @kid-ethic.bsky.social ’s cover design for Happy is the One has inspired a dress 💙💛💙 I feel this could turn into a wider collaboration, @orendabooks.bsky.social (?)

I’ve bought the Kinder Surprise equivalent of daffodils for £5. Thought they were plain old simple ones and then they opened up to reveal this 🤯🤓 #spring #bloomscroll

I’ve been left in charge of feeding my son’s sourdough starter and I’m wondering if these are the same nerves new grandparents feel when first left alone with the little one

Just spent longer than I care to admit searching front gardens on my road to locate and separate two fighting cats only to finally look up and realise the sounds were all coming from a single jay at the top of a cherry tree 🤔

Another day, another type of comet stamp. These just arrived 🤓 and I'm a bit giddy. Issued in 1986 to mark the return of Halley's Comet, one teases the prospect of seeing the #comet twice in one lifetime. It's back in 2061. Did you see it in 1986? @orendabooks.bsky.social #HalleysComet
