Mostly pinching other people’s pics as I only took a few, but yet another fabulous #TheakstonsCrime in the bag, my tenth in total. A weekend packed with conversations, catch ups, copious drinks and more belly laughs than I can count. Only 368 days and counting next year.

My April reads - what a month! 😍

🎧 Famous Last Words by Gillian McAllister - shocking, twisty and gripping
📖 Every Move You Make by C L Taylor - unnerving, smart and pacey
📱The Missing Hour by Robert Rutherford - fast-paced, exciting and unexpected
🎧 The Family Remains by Lisa Jewell - addictive, compelling and unpredictable

Have you read any of these? What did you think?

7yo was almost in tears last night because he’s heard someone at school say that the F-word is bad and is upset that we won’t tell him what it is or what it rhymes with. Inclined to just make a new one up and see in what context he uses it in. Suggestions welcome below…
