Musings about the future of my blog today - link in bio. Would love your thoughts and feedback. #blogging #mummyblogger #whatnext #bloglife #blogging

I just adore the colour of the sky at 5pm after a sunny winter's day. Especially when there are bare black branches and chimney pots silhouetted against it. #nofilter #sundayevening #indigosky #january2020

My 5yo told me this morning that she doesn't believe in magic (except Santa, she hastened to add!). I felt a bit deflated, which must have showed in my face, because she added 'but even though magic isn't real, love is, and that's the important thing', and of course she is absolutely right. So on that note of wisdom I would like to wish you all a truly magical Christmas. I am going to do a social media detox again for the Christmas holidays so that my family get the best of me with no distractions, and I'll be back on 7th Jan. #happychristmas2019 #loveismagic #love #beingfive

Today has been totally lovely and utterly exhausting. This morning I went with my youngest's Reception class to see 'We're Going on a Bear Hunt' at @stratford_circus , which was gorgeously done, and 4 and 5yo children are just so damn cute. And their teachers are so damn amazing. Then this afternoon it was my eldest's final primary school carol concert at @stmaryswalthamstow , so *all* the feels for that. Especially when they sang 'Silent Night' in Welsh as a tribute to their (Welsh) headteacher who is leaving next term. Am now physically and emotionally wrung out, and trying to imitate Henry Cat by spending as much of the evening as possible chilling on the sofa. #classtrip #receptiontrip #schoolcarols #mumlife #christmasfeels #christmas2019 #tabbycatsofinstagram

Came home from the school run to find that my publisher @hodderbooks have sent me this Norwegian edition of my first novel, 'Two For Joy'. It is very strange, and slightly awe-inspiring, to see my words translated into a language I don't speak a single word of to be sold in a country I have never seen! But if you need to buy a Christmas gift for a Norwegian friend or relative then do consider this as an option! #twoforjoy #foreignlanguageedition #norwegianlanguage #writerlife

I just voted for my local Labour MP who is the amazing @stellacreasy . Please, please, please go out and vote today for love not hate, for openness and diversity rather than prejudice, insularity and fear, for honesty not lies, for a greener world not a richer one, and for a government who will help the most vulnerable rather than exploiting them. Basically just vote whatever you need to vote in your constituency for the best chance of keeping the Tories out. #useyourvote #generalelection2019 #toriesout #thisgirlvotes #voteforthenhs #votelovenothate #votetruthnotlies #shevotes
