I consider a day's walking in the high mountains to be a crucial element of my writing process. There's no better way to gain a big dollop of uplift and inspiration😊

Once again, the Apopo social media team have triumphed. Brilliant charity, doing amazing work. I heartily recommend supporting them.

#amwriting #booksky #writingcommunity. I've spent the last few days telling myself it is simply far too hot to write, and now I fear that June Goat is judging me...

Football deserves better than FIFA. Football fans deserve better than this bloated, hydration-stoppaged, queasily-politically-charged, World Cup.

Look past the cute rats, and you see the bigger picture: clearing land so communities can live safely after conflict, and fighting TB so more people can be cured. There’s still a long way to go — but there is #hope, and we’re grateful to have you with us. #APOPO #SavingLives

Apopo is a fantastic charity, doing much needed work. And using the clever African Pouched rat to do it.

It's Mothering Sunday in a week's time! If your mother's no longer around it can be hard. I will as usual be reading out the names of our Remembered Mums/Mams/Moms from halfway up this beauty - the Ashton Memorial in Lancaster. If you'd like me to read out your Mum's name, reply with #Mums26 ❤️ 👑

In four weeks time it will be Mothering Sunday. It can be hard if she's no longer around. As usual I will read out the names of our Remembered Mums. This year, instead of reading the names in church I'll be sounding them out from the balcony of THIS, the grand old Ashton Memorial in Lancaster. [1/2]

'Publishers need to understand that Northern writing in no way has to be about the North.' Northern Voices is back and the first episode of 2026 features prize-winning writer @andrewokeyauthor.bsky.social discussing writing, winning and the North. on.soundcloud.com/9sgItHGJrHxP...
A photo of Andrew from the shoulders up against a plain white wall background. He is side-on to the camera so that his body faces to the left but his face is looking directly at us. He has short, dark hair and glasses and he is smiling. He is wearing a bright green and black striped t-shirt.The Tyne Bridge is pictured in the centre of the frame over a still, reflective River Tyne in Newcastle, UK. Either side of the bridge are buildings with a warmer glow as the sun rises. The words Northern Voices in white lettering feature in the bottom centre of the image.

This gorgeous piece from fabledstainedglass.bsky.social is now in its new home. It's been so lovely to watch from afar as this came together.

This photo popped up today from four years ago. My attempt at a collage based on a piece by Tristan Tzara for my lockdown art club. I asked my husband to say the words which came to mind when thinking about the previous months of lockdown.
