#throwbackthursday to April 2018 and visiting #keukenhof in #holland to see the #tulips
This #sundayreading is a new release from one of my favourite #crimefiction writers. Set in #tasmania loving it so far #sundayreads #amreadingthrillers #amreading
#throwbackthursday to April 2011 and we nearly moved permanently to #hongkong. It had its attractions to be sure #whatmighthavebeen
Just as I was thinking off knocking off early #writingwithcats #blackcatsofinstagram #catsofinstagram #amwriting
Having attended a fabulous weekend workshop on #picturebook #writing with #amysparkes @sparkes_amy - here is my homework. Very enjoyable too #bookhaul #amwritingchildrensbooks
This #sundayreading is thoroughly weird and scary. Cannot imagine it being published as children’s book today. I’m gripped though. Thanks @kramblings for your creepy suggestion. #sundayreads #amreading
#throwbackthursday to this time three years ago, in #puglia - this amazing thousand year old #olivetree near #fasano
Nothing like settling down for a lovely bath with a choice of #sundayreading . All three books have different appeal. #nonfiction history of British Isles through cheese, classic #mg #childrensbooks and #shortstories
Don’t think I’ve been so excited by an official envelope since my Highers results. #covidvacccine
This week’s #throwbackthursday goes a long way back to a #view of the #cairngorms from #lochmorlich after a day’s #skiing. My mum’s car with our skis strapped on the roof
Bertie is now a proper outdoor cat after two years of living in a new town flat #southsideedinburgh #blackcatsofinstagram #catsofinstagram
You wouldn’t know you were in a city. Love #edinburgh love #southsideedinburgh #citylife #pentlands #arthursseat
#throwbackthursday to March 2004. Looking south towards #inverness from #ordhill on the #blackisle
Haven’t done one of these in a while! I asked pickles to help me decide which book to pick next and he’s torn. What should I read?

Gateau always looks as if she’s been banished from the comfy spot and is not happy about it. It’s untrue. She’s welcome on couches, laps, wherever. #blackcatsofinstagram #blackcats #blackcat #catsofinstagram #catstagram #catlife #catlovers #cats
#throwbackthursday to #powderskiing on the #cairngorms White Lady West Wall. It does happen! Bet it would be great there now #sooverit #lockdownboredom #missskiing

Goodness this #sundayreading is unputdownable! Haven’t got this excited by a book for ages. Really recommend this thriller set over three hours in a school siege in UK. #sundayreads #bookstagram #booksworthreading #amreading
