I am so excited to be going back to class tonight and seeing my lovely writer pals. A brilliant way to welcome in a creative new year 🤩

It’s a magic place isn’t it? You might enjoy reading The Outrun - I’ve just finished it for my bookclub next week. It’s probably classed as a recovery memoir, but it is mostly set in Orkney and the sense of place is incredible. It will definitely make you want to visit again!

Ha yes! My son wore gloves during the -6 walk to school yesterday. Wouldn’t quite lower himself to wear a hat tho. Apparently they don’t work 🤷‍♀️

Two future possibilities of the future warming stripes - rapid action or delayed action.

What will the future of the warming stripes be?

2024 could be the start of a stabilisation of global temperatures, or it might appear to be a cool year.

I wrote this piece last year for my lovely dad who died very suddenly in March 2020. His funeral was one of the awful covid ones, with only a handful of us, all spaced out, so it gives me comfort to honour him in a nicer way ❤️
