1. Jack Frost in mother's garden. Always think he makes every place serene.
2. Fuchsia blooming in Jan. World gone mad (but pretty).
3. First bread of 2026. Who's for a slice?

Read ‘One Summer in Provence’ recently and loved it! Happy Christmas 🎄 📚💙
It's 24th December, Christmas Eve. This evening in France is the big family meal. For several reasons, not the least that M has a "grippe" and is honking like a goose, we are keeping it low key. I will roast a chicken and that will serve us for a couple of days. Perfect. Happy Christmas! xxx

Many congratulations to @wednesdayerskin.bsky.social , whose novel The Benefactors has just been named Waterstones Irish Book of the Year. This is an out-take from a series of portraits of writers I'm working on for @literatureireland.bsky.social.

Happy Halloween, all. Raining steadily here in West Clare, not a sign of a trick-or-treater - and I have a bowl full of mini chocolate bars. Whatever will I do with them?
