Damn. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

It's the last couple of days of this smorgasbord of m/m romance books with orange covers - give it a go, you never know what you might discover!

Huh. Having walked the length of Kendal's high street in a cataclysmic downpour and got very wet feet, turned out the fair didn't open until 2pm this afternoon. We came home again. 🙄

Another fun and informative session on watercolours at Windermere Art Society last night, featuring limited palette and semi-abstract techniques to make snow paintings. I'm quite proud of ths, especially the barbed wire fence. 😁 (Also used a rigger brush for the first time - wow aren't they fab?!)

Off to the annual craft fair at the Brewery Arts Centre in Kendal today. Went last year and was blown away... although not sure my bank manager approved. 😁

Yaay new sofas have arrived after a 3 month wait and they're even better than we remembered from in-store, which is nice. 😊

Heading off to a preview night for a pop-up exhibition of Icelandic images in Kendal this evening - should be lovely as Icelandic scenery is amazing.

No snow at our level thankfully but we'd heard there was a fall over the fells so we popped up to Ambleside for a coffee and a quick dash up to Low Sweden Bridge to get some views. It was freezing!! but well worth the effort...

Trying to write a scene set on a baking August day while it's thumping down with sleet and about 2c outside is... interesting. 😳

Anyone else tried Game of Wool? I was disappointed - a show about knitting seemed to have so little... knitting?

It's officially cold. I've broken out the Big Coat.

There was a workshop on painting rocks in watercolour at last night's Windermere Art Society meeting - very useful for Lake District landscapes!! This is my first attempt...

I've just seen the forecast for next week and they're suggesting it might snow... 😳🌨️😱

For when you need to breathe...

Tricky drive to Ambleside through some really deep flood water (and even through the lake itself at Waterhead!) but worth it to see water thundering over Stock Ghyll Force after all the recent rain.

Just finished The Lost Storyteller by Amanda Block and really enjoyed the original, engaging and warm-hearted tale of a young woman searching for her missing father. Loved the twists and turns, touches of humour (her office job, the dreadful aunt), and the fairy tales her father had written for her.

One month's rainful in one weekend - and this is what our local beck (stream) looks like! Oh - and it's still raining...

Celebrate autumn/fall with these m/m romances with ORANGE covers!! Includes my rock star romance On the Rocks, which even has an orange on the cover. 😁 books.bookfunnel.com/mmromancewit...

Happy Halloween everyone! To help celebrate I've made 'Reflections in a Dark Pool' freely available. This eerie fantasy m/m tale was inspired by a sacred spring I tripped over while out walking in some local woods. Hope you enjoy it if you take a look. ☺️🦇 claims.prolificworks.com/free/uPo7QGLH

Last chance to grab a dark romance book just in time for Halloween!

Last day!! Don't miss out!!! Lots of Kindle Unlimited books to choose from!

Big treat on Saturday night as we and a friend went to a concert by Guitar Heads at the Royalty Cinema in Bowness. The band specialise in classic electric guitar hits from the ages and are fantastic, so it was a great night's entertainment. Apologies for the crap photo - the best my phone would do!

Had our first decent walk for over a week yesterday as I've been flat out with a weird flu bug. Didn't go as far as usual but still enjoyed a stroll through Wray Castle grounds and along the shore of Windermere. Lovely autumn colours but the wind was freeeeeezing! 🥶

Have just seen a goldcrest pecking about on the bamboo in our front garden. I think they're quite rare now so it was a special treat. :)

I has tomatoes! From my magic tomato tree! In other words, this is the teeny tiny crop from the tomato plant that magically seeded itself in one of the pots in the back garden. I'm quite sure they're not edible, but I still feel oddly proud of them... ;)

Feeling peeved... have yet another flu-type bug and am having to miss all sorts including an art society visit to a Grade I listed Voysey house, a boat trip, and quite possibly my mother-in-law's birthday celebrations.

We had an errand near the M6 so carried on into Lancaster and spent the morning exploring - including the canal. All looking lovely with the autumn colours... #dailywalk #canal #lancaster

I know it's a so-called "mast year" with tons of acorns, but has anyone else noticed vast quantities of yew berries as well? When it rained heavily last week there was pink soup on the streets under all the yew trees!!

Nul points to Booths in Kendal who are blasting out Christmas music over loudspeakers in both the main store and the cafe, so loud you can hear it outside the building. And it's only mid-October!! Not great for neuro-diverse shoppers, or even for hearing what the assistants were saying... 🎄😟

Got AppleTV, started watching Slow Horses from the start and absolutely LOVE it. Also love that they seem to have used one of our best friends as Gary Oldman's voice coach... 🤣

Super walk this morning exploring Serpentine Woods in Kendal. We've been meaning to do it for *years* and never quite got round to it! Really worth the steep climb... Pics show one of the sculptures, the wishing well (which had a sprite peering out of the greenery), fungi, and the view...

Does anyone enjoy stripping wallpaper? I'm still at it in my tiny study where 4 well-stuck layers are taking ages, even with a steamer. And the more we strip, the more problems we uncover! Nothing that can't be fixed but I'm getting to the point where if I take any more off a wall might fall down. 😆

Last couple of days of this group promo on smalltown romance - don't miss your chance to grab some books!

Oooh pretty... www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Took advantage of the sunshine yesterday to explore all 1.3 miles of Ulverston canal from Canal Head to Canal Foot on the coast. Very tranquil, attractive and full of fascinating heritage including a "rolling" bridge! Also saw coots, dragonflies, buzzards and a raven.

I've been forgetting to mention that two of my pictures are on display (and *cough* for sale) in the Windermere Room at the Ladyholme Centre in Windermere. There are also artworks by other members of my monthly pastels group and I'm genuinely blown away to have my art featured in such good company.

Unexpected trip - set off for GB Antiques in Lancaster only to find it shut in Feb! Diverted to nearby Williamson Park/Ashton Memorial instead, never been before but had lots of fun exploring the park, ravines, lake, the vast memorial itself and the butterfly house with actual tropical butterflies!

LAST DAY!! Don't miss it!!! You'll be sorry if you do! 😂
