Now I've made the grandkids a rice pudding in the same dish my mum would make it for me. Snaffled the skin and was catapulted back to being ten. There is a very divided camp over eating the skin in a rice pudding, which side are you on, or is this just too retro for comment?

And breathe...nothing but the shush of the waves breaking gently on the shore. This was the view from the van door last night at Firemore Beach. Made sure the only trace left was the tenner in the honesty box. #vanlife #Highlands #Scotland

Weren't we lucky with the weather? The #Northumberland . Coast was pulling out all the stops today, with Beadnell Bay providing an excellent parking spot for a night. #vanlife

That's it! I am not making more. If this third batch of frangipane mince pies doesn't make it to Christmas then so be it. #mincepies

Buoyed up by this article I've just written the first scene in a new novel - something I've had on the back burner for years. I'm not holding back, if it's radical, edgy old women with stories to tell, then I'm your girl #WritingCommunity @womenwritersnet

New notebook for a new novel given to me by my boy. He's 30 now & getting married soon. Empty nests will be one of the themes as I look at ageing & how life changes for the older woman. #wip #WritingCommunity #womenwriters #emptynest

All this talk of #Molly (though some spell it #Mollie ) is making me double take. I've not watched #Traitors so keep thinking you're talking about my novel, #TheRewildingofMollyMcFlynn . A shameless use of trending #s I know, but do you know how hard it is out there for an author?

It may be soggy underfoot with a bursting burn & a grey sky full of rain, but there is rhubarb and plum blossom. Always such a joy to pick the first stalks of rhubarb, which will be lightly poached with a teaspoon of ginger. #homegrown #rhubarb #seasonaleating #rain

This is my husband's post about #SycamoreGap . I've been into #Hexham today. Folk are stunned, many with tears. A hole has been ripped in our community. RIP beloved tree.

Remember that Covid Lockdown Christmas? In January I took a daily walk from my front door, we were only to go out on essential business or for exercise. One of the first places I went to was #sycamoregap . There are better photos than mine but this is what I took on 5th Jan

For those asking about the clothes I made for our son's wedding, here you go: linen coat & dress (will get better pics) It was a fantastic day, the rain stopped and we partied into the night, dancing under moonlight on the beach. So many precious memories made. @AllotmentHelen
