The Matlaske reliquary pendant. This is the sort of ‘device’ Margaret Paston may have worn and it was found around 3km from her first marital home in Gresham. Now on display in the Gallery of Medieval Life in the Norwich Cathedral Museum. I saw it properly for the first time yesterday.

If writers wrote only what they knew, we'd have far fewer stories about spaceships, medieval knights, or chefs or lawyers. How do you choose the right career for your characters? This is the topic of this month's authors' Round Robin helenafairfax.com/2024/11/16/w...

Looking forward to my debut novel being published in 2024 courtesy of Seasiders' Write.
A Rom Com set in Peggleford, a small Norfolk seaside village that is anything but sleepy.
When Ellie inherits Dunes Cottage, it's not the picturesque hideaway she was anticipating. Or the life she had planned.
