I'm a UK-based author and journalist. This is my journal x my Notes app - mostly books, food, interiors, clothes, shopping, home life, plus observations and enthusiasms.
I’ve been writing novels for decades. I’ve published 10, in the UK and internationally. I know how long books take, how they go wrong, and what persistence they require. My Substack is where I show you my writing life and share some tricks I've learned
Welcome to my newsletter. This is where I share stories from my seaside village in the South West of France, my trips to the market, weekly recipes, and updates on our house renovation. Most of it’s free, and will always be free.
I’m a RHS Chelsea gold medallist and author sharing the simplest ways to garden.
