  • Sandstorm- available now!
  • Weekends are made for coffee and cake. My mum treated me to an espresso martini mocktail muffin and, paired with my daily @nespresso.uk with @oldhallfarm raw A2 Jersey milk flat white, it made for the perfect pick me up. And - breathe...
  • Goodness, Facebook has reminded me that today marks 13 years since I published my poetry and photography collection, progress. The poetry was written during one period of my life, the photography taken during another, and yet they came together to create a magical, glossy book. I remember several people crying with the emotion of progress, and it is still available now. Find out more on my website - link in bio.
  • I love creativity all its different forms, and I would like to share Dave with you. This amazing hedgehog is made from wood and he is the mascot of the fabulous @thehoghotelpakefield where we went for lunch this week to celebrate my dad's birthday. Not only was the food delicious, but I finally got to meet Dave in person and yes - I can guarantee that his spikes are definitely spikey! What is the most creative thing that you have seen lately?
  • When I was at university, I was lucky enough to come across '25 Cats Name Sam and One Blue Pussy' by Andy Warhol. I found some copies of prints in a shop and, being called Samantha and a total cat lover, I just had to get them. Fast-forward a few years and I have a new copy of this iconic book, originally published in 1954. Warhol lived in New York at the time as a freelance commercial and children’s book illustrator with his mother, Julia Warhola, and 25 cats who all shared the same name. Each cat drawing is accompanied by Julia's calligraphy, with each unique print hand-coloured by Warhol and his friends. I may not own an original 'Sam' but I love this iconic artwork and that, somewhere in the world, once upon a time, cats and Sam's/Samantha's came together through an artist's eyes.
  • Time to introduce my new fluffball, Mister Mishkins 🧡 He has made himself purrfectly at home since his arrival in June. He has just the biggest purr, a Cheshire Cat smile, and loves carrying toys twice the size of him around the house!
  • I love notebooks – do you? I have hundreds of them – possibly, probably – some filled with words written in quiet moments or when something made my creative brain sing. Others have just sentences, the beginning of something put to one side and never taken up again.   I must admit, if I am going away, I get into a panic if I do not have a blank notebook with me. I need somewhere to capture any creativity that may happen, write down any observations or word patterns that capture me, and somewhere to be free – just in case… Even a trip to meet a friend for coffee will see me bring a notebook, just in case they are late and I have some free time.   A little space to be creative; I think we all need that, don’t you?
  • The @rafredarrows just flew over @thearabianmagazine @thedelicatediner & @eatnourishdrink HQ! It is always wonderful to see these planes flying through the sky - and I love that there were enough of us on the edge of Hardwick Airfield that they put on a bit of smoke for us!
