I enjoyed this article by Kate Wagner. Some good, solid advice on writing an essay that should stand the test of time. Could easily apply to writing a book. And the ‘writer’s block’ advice is definitely worth trying.

The Dark is Rising sequence of books by Susan Cooper is brilliant. And, I still have my original copy. As well as Cooper’s writing, I love the illustrations that accompany it. It’s lovely to learn more about the artist who created them, Margery Gill.

The beautiful Floribunda 'Pink Martini' (aka Pink Flower Circus; Kordes, 1999). The colour is astonishing. Described by Peter Beales as "a breathtaking treasure for every garden" & he is not wrong! A pale salmony mauve pink, unlike any other pink rose I have seen. Gorgeous. #Roses 🌱 🌹
