Good luck to all the children taking part in their school’s nativity play this week. You’re all stars, no matter what your role.

Yesterday I got a flat tyre from a pothole. 30 seconds later a farmer stopped, tried to inflate tyre, no success. After he’d gone van stopped, the driver, a lovely human being, spent an hour changing my tyre. He said ‘today I’m helping you, yesterday no one stopped for me when I had same problem’ 🥺

Big shout out to the wonderful Fahid and Kelly from Dudley who stopped when I had a flat tyre on a rural road and spent an hour of their time changing my tyre.

You can buy my novel here, any of y’all who fancy it ☺️
How Like A Winter
A novel about mothers. What happens to them after they lose their children to adoption? Do they ever meet again? It is about love, and maybe too, there are only seven degrees of separation between us ...
