I don't really post anymore, but I would like to carry on writing books at some point in the future.
Hate to be annoying, but any chance you could retweet so old twitter followers can find me if they want to? Going to delete my twitter, or at least abandon it on lock and let it die a slow death.

A tiny bit of shameless self-promotion because the gifting season is creeping up on us. If you’re after something delicious, handcrafted, and ethical, my chocolate boxes, bars, and treats make really lovely gifts. Treat yourself, treat someone else, or both, I won’t judge! Reshares appreciated! 🍫✨

The 31-month sentence for Lucy Connolly for a tweet has been the subject of fierce media coverage.
Here I set out a balanced explanation of this sentence and how, had she not followed good legal advice, the sentence could have been even heavier.

In a sentence never before uttered by humans, I am delighted to share that an alligator stole my conservation instructor’s hat by jauntily walking into the water while wearing it 🐊

Month after month we fought to stop Brexit. No farmers joined us
Most voted for Brexit ~ lured by the prospect of more money/ laxer rules
Rich nobs like Clarkson, Dyson, hoovered up land to offset against tax
The enemy is Johnson/the supermarkets/ the FTAs with Australia. Not Starmer
