In a totally indulgent moment I revised my novella this weekend. And I remembered how much I enjoyed every second of creating it. Of crafting Alice and Agnes, getting to know them and weaving the magic of their lives. Not ashamed to say I am proud of what I created.

The two things that really help my mental health are yoga and walking. Haven’t been able to do either for the last four weeks. And I am starting to really feel it. Top pick me up tips needed…

Second best thing about finding a great book? Sharing a great book . My Mother in laws review is in!⬇️⬇️⬇️ “Finished the mare. A hard read, not for the faint hearted. Impelling narrative and brilliant structure”

From the roadside honesty florist (stick a quid in an old pan) in Wicken,July. My photo’s inspired by the work of Rachel Ruysch (1664-1750). Research shows that when we look at something we find visually appealing dopamine’s released in our brains, lifting mood & improving mental health slightly:

I stand with the other quarter, my little sisters and brothers who just want to stay indoors and watch telly or read a book.

And I am the Rachel in question. And that is not my greatest work of fiction!!!

OMG!!! amp.theguardian.com/books/2024/n...
