Like to take an #audiobook away on holiday? Enjoy #historicalfiction? Fancy being transported to #Cornwall in the summer of 1923? I’m pleased to say that the @audibleuk recording of #TheVisitors is currently on promotion. It’s beautifully narrated by @estherwane. @simonschusterUK

Un précieux brin de muguet pour du bonheur toute l'année... Unfortunately, my lily of the valley has gone over now (this weird speeded-up spring!), but I remembered to take a photo a fortnight ago. Bon 1er Mai. Happy Fête du Travail. #muguet #1ermai #1stMay

Have had a couple of months away from my desk as I've been getting my house ready to #Airbnb this summer, but I'm returning to edits this week. Not that easy to shift brain back into writing gear... perhaps another cup of tea...😬☕️☕️☕️ #amwriting #amediting #amprocrastinating

I always forget to take a photo of the #wisteria until it's starting to go over, but it's smelled beautiful this week and been full of big black bees. (Yes, I am bribing Ted with a treat.) #gardening #dogsofX #lakelandterrier

What a joy to watch Lucinda Lambton's Durham episode of Travels with Pevsner again. Wish you'd repeat all her programmes, @BBCFOUR4. Her delivery is such a delight.
