An incredible weekend out on the snowy hills of Eryri. I spent Saturday out on my skis, and then on Sunday I took my baby on a lovely sunny stroll in the hills. Today I am VERY achy but very happy!

Skis plus beautiful snowy mountains and a mostly blue sky

A beautiful view of snowy summits under a layered sky.

Spectacular snowy scenes in the mountains yesterday. It's strange not heading up with skis or ice axes for a big day - but if I didn't have to do a baby-paced day, I'd have missed this wonderful view. The mountains will still be there next year!

Snowy mountains reflected perfectly in a still llyn.

Lunchtime swimtime! Getting pretty chilly out there but I always feel approximately a billion times better afterwards (once I've stopped shivering).

The sea, looking much calmer in this photo than it felt in reality.

Starting a new developmental edit for an author today, which means I get to have one of my favourite type of editing days: manuscript on tablet to read through, notebook, sofa, cat snuggles. What a dream. #AmEditing #FreelanceEditors #EditorsOfWords #EditingCommunity

Cat sat on my lap, notebook and tablet next to me, all ready to get started on my first read-through.

Silky sunrise sea swim. First one this season that's felt properly chilly! It was an absolute delight (once I'd stopped faffing around on the slipway whining about it being cold) and totally worth getting up early for. #coldwater #seaswimming

Today has been a lovely mix of big storms and big rainbows. The brightest one in the photo stretched all the way across the sky! Now it's just cold and half dark and very, very windy - perfect cosy reading weather.

Two rainbows in a stormy sky, one much brighter than the other.

Treated myself to a few minutes reading a chapter of the updated edition of The Bone Season before starting work today. It's so much tighter than the original and despite knowing exactly what happens, I still struggled to drag myself away from it. Is there an #AmReading feed yet...?

Revised edition of The Bone Season by Samantha Shannon featuring a super pretty cover.

Having a lovely civilised lunch stop on my way up to Glasgow for the CIEP conference. Excited to finally meet some editing pals in person! #CIEP2023

Hi Bluesky! Still figuring out how this works, but I'm excited to be here. Please enjoy this photo of my cat refusing to get up this morning.
