Really enjoyed Autumn by Ali Smith. It’s a quick, easy read but is clever and funny. Bonus points for featuring Pauline Boty who deserves to be better known.

Is it me or do these mushrooms look more like a loofah?!
Does anyone under 40 even know what a loofah is?!

The Silent Companions by Laura Purcell is genuinely scary and hugely enjoyable! Spooky and twisty - I did not guess the ending!

This book won prizes and acclaim but I just found it profoundly depressing….

A lovely day out at Brompton Cemetery, the final resting place of many fascinating people including Emmeline Pankhurst and Marchesa Luisa Casati. They also have very eerie catacombs!

Our street is getting new pavements! The 8am pneumatic drilling and angle grinding is not good for the nervous system but I’m sure it will be nice when it’s finished!!

A funny and enjoyable satire on the publishing industry with some serious ideas about identity, success and self image.

This book has some lovely descriptions of the beauty of our planet and the destruction of it by humans but I found it repetitive and ultimately unsatisfying

A few very special days in one of my favourite cities:
A stroll in Central Park, a drink at The Stonewall Inn and the Fourth of July fireworks.

It’s great when a trip to such a famous place reinforces the power and beauty of the natural world.
