This podcast was so much fun! Do give it a listen, particularly if you want to know how I bounced back from being dumped by my first publisher. Spoiler: I did write a bestseller, eventually.... but not for them!

Back from Greece and, as well as visiting lots of archaeological sites and going canoeing, I found the time to read The Wasp Trap by @markedwardsauthor.bsky.social I absolutely loved it. Six friends who worked on a dating website in the 90s reunite with deadly consequences. A gripping page-turner.

My mum's not on BlueSky so I can share what I made tonight, for Mother's Day. Wire aperture and felt. Made it based on a sheep photo found on Google - no kit, no instructions. Quite proud of myself 😁

Ornamental white sheep with black inner ears holding a pink and yellow flower, on a wire, in its mouth. The sheek is made from white wool, felted, with black wool for its eyes, nose and inner ears. The flower is also felted.

Chuffed to bits. One reviewer called it, 'Big Little Lies meets Desperate Housewives'. I reckon there's a bit of 'The Staircase' thrown in there too. And 'Motherland'. If it sounds like your sort of thing click Bert's link below 👇
