Drinking this under recommendation! It's smooth, caramelly, and gorgeous. Beautiful to sip on, and great for a sore throat, lol! 🥃🖤

#JamesonBlackBarrel #Whisky
Label for Jameson Black Barrel Irish whisky, mentioning that its an exceptional blend triple distilled for rich smooth notes of vanilla, toasted oak, caramel, and spices. A glass jar with a straw sits in the table to the right. A hand with yellow nail polish holds the bottle by its neck.

Hope you all had the best Christmas/Yule. I held my dad tight today, remembering the recent loss of my mother-in-law, and of Wombie today. Hold those you love close and let them know how much you love them ❤️

Wuthering Heights-Emily Brontë I've been carrying this book around with me everywhere while I read it 💙

It’s the raw moments and ultimately the unending connection between Heathcliff and Cathy that bury this story, along with its tragic ghosts, right into your soul.

'A wild, wicked slip she was.'

Michael Wombat was a man who loved freely and fiercely, who blessed us with his presence and with so many worlds that lived in his vast eclectic imagination.
As with so many I'm devastated to hear of his passing. We knew it was coming #fuckcancer but we wanted to stall that inevitability forever 💔

This is mary

I'm sorry to tell you that Michael died late last night. I was with him.
Thank you all for your support. It's a tremendous help.

A Winter Solstice #CrystalGrid to celebrate the beginning of #Yule and a season bringing light and peace. A time when nature rests, and so should we. Enjoy a restful time with your loved ones 💚
Angled photo of a crystal grid with a Moss Agate moon in the centre, clear quartz, prehnite, Pyromorphite, and epidote surrounding it. The moss agate is sage green, the Pyromorphite bright green, epidote dark green and Prehnite soft sage green. On a pale wooden board.

I've had a lovely weekend! Spent last night getting drunk with Vince's family, saw my brother and sister today, then had a couple of hours reminiscing with two old school friends! Driving back home, now, but it was sooo good! 💙

My turn to share my 'Agents of Secrets and Lies' trailer!
I don't like being in front of the video camera any more than Wren likes people, lol, but I think I might just get away with it 😂 nicely tongue-in-cheek version of Wren, the character I wrote.

It's the day I decorated my #ChristmasCake and here it is! A winter forest cabin on the edge of an icy river ❄️🌊🌲 I'd quite like to be there for Christmas, it looks cosy! 🤍
Christmas cake decorated in white fondant icing with a blue river running across it into a waterfall on the edge of the cake. An icy island sits in the river splitting it into two torrents. A log cabin is on the snowy land on the left side of the river with fir trees in front and behind it. Snow covers its roof. Two more fir trees are on the right of the river with a log pile in front of them. Piles of snow and sugar snowflakes cover the cake, too. Close up view of the log cabin and log pile.

I've been waiting for a callback from Future Pensions Service to back pay my unpaid NI contributions so I can get a full pension. Got the callback and then called NI to pay. They couldn't find any of my tax returns, so transferred to Self assessed. They couldn't find them either!

Enjoying a good book and hot chocolate whilst keeping our of the rain, while my car's serviced ☕️📖🌧
White woman with white hair and black glasses, looking out of the window with a hot chocolate in her hands. A tea cake with blackcurrant jam, a hot chocolate and a lemon muffin and the book Wuthering Heights on a table. An old fashioned scales on a window so, and a rainy window with a clock tower outside. The open pages of Wuthering Heights, a hot chocolate and lemon muffin.

I love this! A couple of the most beautiful things I notice are the rainbows of colour in crows, magpies, and jackdaws... and the gorgeous iridescence of pigeons 🐦‍⬛🖤

sometimes at night when I’m trying to sleep, I’ll close my human eyes & look through bird eyes

birds can see the electromagnetic field of the earth

so as wind hits my feathers in shivers, ribbons explode from the east, from the west, one way to food, another to water, another to my wife, to home

That was the loveliest 'I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here' I've seen in years. So much friendship, laughter, and fun and I loved everyone. The final four were brilliant and I didn't mind who won!
And no politicians on it, Yay!💚🌿🪳🦗

Vince is at his work's Christmas dinner, and I imagine he might make it home more than a little worse for wear! Meanwhile, I'm relaxing with two M&S profiterole desserts all for myself and a pornstar martini 🍸

It's hard to write about funerals, so suffice to say we said goodbye to Vince's mum today. The flowers were perfect for her cheerful optimism, and the words said showed just how deeply loved she was. We are exhausted right now 🥀💛

So, this is is what I've been getting up to over the past two years!
This is book 1 of 'The Summer Realm' series: 'Secrets of Agents and Lies' 🖤
It's clever, funny, witty, sad, magic, and beautiful! Myself, Michael Wombat, Miranda Kate, and Victoria Pearson have put together this very original tale!
