My first child-free night for over 18 months, so OF COURSE I woke up at 7am. At least it means all the more time to enjoy beautiful sunny Oxford. But first, breakfast.
Yesterday I promised my 12yo we would redecorate her bedroom this summer, and we decided on a seaside theme as she just loves the sea. Today, browsing magazines before a 3 hour train journey (by myself! Luxury!), I saw @homestylemaguk had a feature on coastal room schemes!
Lovely day at @rhsbridgewater. Had to take a bee picture as I'm in Manchester! 🐝
If anyone was thinking of buying the paperback of A THOROUGHLY MODERN MARRIAGE today could be the day - Amazon have put it on special offer. Authors have no control over when they do this, or for how long, but it's happening right now! Link in bio.
We made it! First time we have seen my brother and SIL @makemydaycreative since last August. We escaped the pings, and after a hot, slightly stressful journey I am now sipping Pimms in their garden. Happy times.
Thanks for all the publication day love, everyone. My talented 12yo made me this delightful cake (chocolate mud cake with whipped cream and gorgeous book cover icing topper ordered online!) - @nadiyajhussain she is totally inspired by you since first seeing you on Jnr Bake Off.
