Yet *another* reason I ❤️ my ancient MX5. In spite of it’s ridiculous boot space, i know how to fit shiitloads of stuff into it because I’ve had it since 1999. Some of these plants are for my Mum and some for me and Tom. Plus I also went to the gym so my sports bag is the boot. 🥰 @ffffagan @kathrynmholford @jlingrell #mazdamx5 #classiccar #mycar #brightonlife #gardening #bestcarever

‘New photos,’ I mutter, as I prepare to restart letting on AirBnB. ‘Miaow,’ said the cat.

What a lovely day! And how pleasing to see pictures of everyone enjoying the sunshine. We went to Goring beach (it’s far nicer than Brighton if you ask me, which of course you didn’t) and then up into the downs where we happened upon Angmering Estate wood, which is just magical. This, my friends, is why I love my little ancient MX5 so. It makes every moment of a summer day feel good. Even sitting in a traffic jam is less irksome. Happy bank holiday, one and all.😎❤️🐝🌞🌻

I’m sequestered away in a little pod in the country (makes me sound like a bean or pea or something - what is it with the word ‘pod’? It is ubiquitous these days.) Anyway, it’s very pleasing whatever it is. There are no distractions! No wireless, no TV, let alone people. Only underlines how easily I can lose my focus normally - I’m whistling through the final read through of my novel to the accompaniment of birdsong and creaking tree branches.

Still here? So are we, but what a year! Still here? So am I - elderly mum and husband too - but what a year!
