In this week's addition of 'What Karen cooks', we have hearty lamb stew. Served with a @warburtonsuk wholemeal protien pocket. Tasty and warming on this damp, chilly Sunday. xx

Today I did an impromptu book signing at the autumnal Witches Tea Party at Wicca Moon, one of my beloved places. I am ever grateful for the friendship and sistership shown me here and the support for my work.🖤✨️ #witchesteaparty #traditionalfolkmagick #oldeways

I'll remember when you forget, and I'll fill the gaps and keep the conversation going. No matter how jumbled your memories are, they are still yours to tell. Your truths to share. My job is to support your dignity and wellbeing, with acceptance and understanding, and love.💜 #worldalzheimersday2025

Took myself to the London Pet Show Live today. Had a good wander and caught up with Peter and Lin Wright, of The Yorkshire Vet for a good chat. Which was very lovely. I even managed a quick 'hello' to Dr Scott Miller. xx #thepetshow #petparent #animallover #agooddayout

Life has thrown more than a few curve balls at me this year so far. But it'll be a cold day in Hades when any of it stops me from doing my thing. Have a good Friday all. xx #justdoingmything #timeforareset #livinglifetothefullest #dontletlifepassyouby

Yesterday, in between dodging the biblical rainshowers on my way to and from a show, I snapped two more often ignored gems in London's history. The original Guys Hospital building frontage and Keat's House. I know I'm a geek. You're welcome. #guyshospital #keatshouse #southwark

The last Sunday of summer. Taking time to reflect on what has been a very busy and intense few months. As it's been a while, here's a #sundayselfie rare these days, I know. This woman is ready to rise to meet the autumn and whatever rocks up next.🖤✨️ #gritandgrace #itsawonderfullife

Took myself to see the matinee of A Man for all Seasons at the Harold Pinter Theatre. Well cast and solid performances all round. A thoroughly enjoyable afternoon. xx #martinshaw #sirthomasmore

Following a creative path most likely will never make me rich in coin, but it makes my heart happy and my life richer than I can explain. xx #keepcreating #followyourpassion #dontdimyourlight

These are the latest of my tiny face biro sketches. Each one is no bigger than the top half of my thumb. xx #tinyfaces #myart #birosketch #channeledart
