Biggest laugh of the year so far 🤣🤣🤣

Funny, they weren't the words that sprang to mind... 🤔😂

When you're on your way to do an interview and you're passing these beauties... #NotYorkshire 😁

Also a good spot for a murder... #DateWithJustice 😁

A day made for riding your bike to a café... 🌞🚴‍♀️🍰😁

Only one colour choice on the bike today... #Giro #SYates 😁🚴‍♀️🥰

When you choose to spend your bank holiday in the wind and rain, marshalling a local fell race... perfect excuse for a cheeky run 😉😂🌬🏃‍♀️☔️

This weather...🌞🚴‍♀️🥰

When you're out so early, even the sheep aren't up yet... #SundayRun 🏃‍♀️🌞🥰

Clouts being cast left right and centre up here in the Dales!! 🌞🌞🌞

Couldn't sum up better how I feel about today! 👏👏👏

🥳 Publication alert! Out today in Spain - the first book in the Dales Detective series. Ida's going to need her Factor 50 🌞😁🤣

This. Just this. 👏👏👏

When you go for an evening walk and discover a new path... priceless

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

Brilliant book!! Reckon Ida Capstick would get a lot out of reading it 😁 Happy Book Birthday, @robdrummond.bsky.social!!

Post-London lung cleanser. Getting my balance back #MorningRun 🌞🏃‍♀️🥰

Can't make it to London for the protest as I'm on a book tour promoting my latest - no doubt Meta will steal that at some point too as they have every single one of my fourteen novels, including the foreign editions!! I know what Ida Capstick would have to say about them!! #DoTheWriteThing

Always cool to have a number one... 🥳😁🥰

You know your book has been well and truly launched when you're dressed as a pink sheep and end up on stage singing with the band... cracking night! #DateWithDestiny 🐑🤣🥰

Published today!!! Grab yourself a Date with Destiny and say farewell to Bruncliffe... 😥🥰😁

Morning run. With added lambs 🏃‍♀️🐑🥰

Treated myself to a morning on the bike and got back to the @alcs.co.uk distribution... Cherry on the cake 😁 Thanks ALCS team!

Sunshiiiiine 🌞🏃‍♀️🥰 #YorkshireDales

Too nice not to... 🌞🏃‍♀️🥰 #SundayRun #YorkshireDales

I never get tired riding in this landscape... even when it's blooming freezing like today 🥶🚴‍♀️😅🥰 #YorkshireDales

Pretty much perfect day. #YorkshireDales doing spring gloriously 🥰

Nice to see the lamb-tree beginning to blossom on my morning run 😁🏃‍♀️❤️

Having lived quite a while in Japan and being a sumo fan, there is no limit to my awe for this amazing young man. And for those who made his story possible. Great article from @justinmmccurry.bsky.social

When you get in from a bike ride and collapse on the kitchen floor... #WorthIt 🚴‍♀️🌞😅🥰

While I'm always reminded of the time I left Ash Wednesday mass as a kid with the ash on my forehead, crossed the road into the newsagents and bought a curlywurly. Came out eating it only for my Dad to say 'Weren't you giving up chocolate for Lent??' Shortest Lenten fast ever 🙈🤣

Morning run. With added lambs. Needed that this morning 🏃‍♀️🥰

🥳 Wonderful news from Page36 Productions... filming is underway for episodes 3&4 of Rendez vous avec le crime. Dales Detectives heading back onto French TV screens!! 📺

Top run on the tops this morning. Needed the mind cleanse 🏃‍♀️🥰

Curlews. Snowdrops. Even a few daffodils... and that sky 🥰 #YorkshireDales

One of those stunning spring days. Curlews are back... 🌞🚴‍♀️🥰 #Dales

Author copies of the final Dales Detective have arrived... definitely emotional knowing it's the last one!! 😥🥰 #DateWithDestiny

Not normally comfortable with praise but I'll make an exception...😁😁😁 #DateWithDestiny #March27
