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.

Well-deserved Wendy! #TheBenefactors is superb! 📚💙
The Benefactors is Waterstones Irish Book of the Year. I could not be more pleased.

Okay, I lied about the grand piano, but it was some night.

Massive thanks to Sally of Banner Books, Ennistymon, to Lily, and all who came.

Hey kids, we are a small Irish family business.

We make lovely things by hand.

Could you buy something so we can pay for our Christmas packaging?

Thanks a mill.

So here we go, my 23rd offering, publishing in Ireland and online on Feb 5, all going well. The story of yoga teacher Lydia during the most tumultuous year of her life - I hope it finds favour with my cherished readers. 🙂🙂

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?
