I had to whoop when I saw the bike our latest Airb&b guest has rocked up on. It’s a classic Triumph Bonneville, now chained up nearby. It’s the very bike the ‘bad boyfriend’ rides in the novel that’s just gone out to publishers. I’m not into motorbikes particularly, but I’ve ridden pillion a few times and it’s a hell of an adrenaline rush. #motorbike #writersofinstagram #authorsofinstagram @bookouture @laura_wilkinsonwriter

Aw, flowers on publication day! They are so lovely and a massive thank you to all the very special people at Thread who have made Making Friends with Anxiety a joy to work on.

Latest creative endeavour at Howard Terrace. Wallpapering shutters in the ‘master’ bedroom. The design seemed part seascape, part jungle but it sort of works, I hope, especially with our arched window, which will forever make me think of Play School.

Midsummer Madness: save the dates, it’s party time. Dressing up (fairies, flower girls, tigers, come as you like). We’ll work out which day nearer the time when we can get an accurate forecast.

The good news is this arrived today. My friend @daniellelucas68 who helps run the Making Friends groups on Facebook alerted me to its existence and I decided it had got to be mine. It is so perfect! 🥰 The bad news is I have Covid. Had to happen some time. At least I have a cosy bed and a caring husband. But my throat is so sore it feels as if it’s been attacked with a cheese grater. I can’t speak! Am sucking lozenges as if there were no tomorrow without ‘em.

Pultenay Bridge a stone’s throw away. This is more like it! Such a beautiful location and a big thank you to @rachel.leyshon for helping me move. You are an angel.

The Hive on Pultenay Bridge. A possible venue for the last chapter of Searching for Mr Yesterday. I’m torn @rachel.leyshon! Should it be here or where we went on Wednesday? @sherbetfountain what do you think? The more Margaritas I drink the more I think it should be here! They’re cheaper than the bubbly in Opi. Service is excellent too…
