When I first started writing Life in the Square, I didn’t set out to create a grand story.
I wanted to capture small moments — ones that make you smile for no reason, remind you of a neighbour, relative, or friend who always turns up with cake when you need it.

Water rail – Rallus aquaticus –
It really is easily overlooked among moorhens at the muddy edge of a reed bed, although once you see the long, red bill any doubt quickly disappears.

Hubster and I kicked off the day with an early morning road trip to Halen Môn in north Wales for a seaweed barrel bath.
The barrel itself was bliss: wonderfully warm, silky-smooth water infused with seaweed and oils. Forty-five minutes of floating and unwinding was exactly what we both needed…

Tonight I watched Russell Watson in concert. I went in as someone who wasn’t a huge fan — but what a show! The production was superb, his voice absolutely soared, and whole performance felt rich, warm, and beautifully put together.
Nancy May was fantastic, what a great voice. Absolutely loved it.
