A peaceful early morning walk to West Bay last week - bright blue skies, a harbour dusted in frost and apart from the fishermen and a joyful cluster of laughing women swimmers, hardly a soul to be seen ☀️ (zoom in to pic #2 for happy #seaswimmer group spotted from the pier)
When I’m between writing and edits, I walk, declutter, catch up on admin … and sew 🧵🪡 Latest project is new patchwork cushions from repurposed V&A sheets. If you don’t see the finished results soon, you’ll know my edits are in and my head is back in the novel 😎📚✍️
Nothing sets me up for a writing day like a sun-blessed early morning walk ❄️☀️🧘
After a 2021 of pretty hard slog, Carpenter Colin and I gave ourselves an extra week at New Year, to walk off the Christmas excess along Dorset’s soothing coast. In the chilly evenings, I read Hardy by firelight as my walking boots dried out, and watched the film Ammonite (located on this very beach where I’m pictured here). Now feeling recharged and ready to take on the next phase of work for the new novel … and returning to my desk with a few new treasures 🐚

I’ve walked over 70k steps in the first 7 days of the year, which means with all their additional scampering, these two may have done double that. Plus they’ve got twice as many feet … anyway BRAVO to Charlie, who’ll be 15 this year 🙌🐾
My Top Nine from 2021, made up of family, pooches, books and beaches … another strange year, but one I’m grateful for all the same. Looking forward to good times ahead, and with a fair wind, a new book release in 2022! 📚🥂🙏
Happy New Year to all my friends, family, readers and colleagues! I wish you the best of times in the year ahead … here’s to love, peace and happiness in 2022 🙏♥️🌱
