I am blessed to have three young men for sons and a beautiful old dog called Bella.

Did I unravel my year by not setting goals?

I didn’t set my goals this year, and it didn’t feel right. Did it set off my mid year crisis? Or was that always going to happen?

The week that felt like a month

The week that we went for a long 3500 km drive and reconnected with each other, the land and nature.

Leaning into the windy day

It’s a blizzard here today…despite it nearly being the end of spring! The completely bonkers weather reminds everyone that climate change is real, not a figment of our imagination. We have had rain, hail, gale force winds…and a little sunshine. Today I have had to lean into what it brought me rather than my to-do…

So far, this year has been a delight in terms of my reading. Doing a bit of catch-up here... There’s something deeply satisfying as a writer to see your words in print especially when the words are about something so beautifully personal. Vale Nola Frawley. I hope I’ve done her justice. A great day to write letters! Do you want to get a letter from me? Four days with these super women can only be improved with our missing one (😞 @_nicky_writes_ ). Four days writing, thinking, laughing, crying and solving the world’s problems. Four days with walks into the forest. Four days of noticing. Four days ended with the appearance of a tiny frog. Four days at our place of haven. Four days and 10k words written into the the new ms A great burst of creativity thanks to a @jenestorer masterclass with @zoecollinsart My beautiful dog has a hole in her eye. We now have to make a decision on what to do next. Aging creeps up on us. When I was first told on Wednesday I was numb about it. Matter of fact about it. As time has passed, I have a sense of bereavement that she’ll lose her eye. It makes me feel that the end of her life is no longer sneaking up on us but grabbing us from behind. Fantastic launch of Ashley Kalagian Blunt’s debut novel Dark Mode at Readings last night. Lovers of crime/thriller/true crime/dark thriller (that’s so many of us — am I right?!) will love this. I can’t wait to read it Subscribe to my newsletter to read my latest musing where I ramble on about the messiness of mothering and all the feelings that come with it. It’s been a week of noticing, reuniting and farewelling.
