I thought I'd share some reviews of my novel White Rabbits. I'm well into Touch Wood (part 2)but it can't be rushed. One is from a friend but equally valid 🤣🏴 It was a stand-alone novel until requests for a follow-up began arriving. #booksky #readers #wales #itcouldbeyou #lotterywin #dreamscometrue
Tonight, I was listening to a Welsh male voice choir in my local 'pub/music venue' on the marina. And also chatting in Spanish about Jacob Jordaens 'Swansea painting' Atalanta & Meleager which hangs in The Prado. It's funny how nights turn out. Google the connection. #bbc4art #art #theprado #spain 🏴
I've just watched Jumanji 1995. First time in ages. It really was cutting edge for its time, and I loved seeing Robin Williams again. It's always worth revisiting old faves. Just like a Kenyan safari 🤣 #jumanji #films #movies #drama #bigscreen #entertainment #writerslife #wildlife #jungle
Fun with the Merlin bird app. A European Stonechat on Swansea beach dunes. It recognises birdsong. It's surprising what's out there, but I can add these bits of info into my follow-up novel as my MC has an apartment on the seafront. #ornithology #birds #merlín #birdspotting #twitchers #writerslife
NEW: Richard Tice failed to pay almost £100,000 in corporation tax, benefiting his investment company which made large donations to Reform UK.
First time Reform's deputy leader's tax affairs can be directly linked to finances of Nigel Farage's party.
That's my fear lol
I'm just watching an awful version of War of the Worlds :the attack. Dire acting. Last night, I watched the Tom Cruise epic and the day before another one, which was high tech, and made me lose interest quite quickly. Benefits of a Prime month's trial?😜
Both. Edit when I see it needs it, but I'm constantly doing retouches.
If I could go back in time, this is where I'd like to be. Aged 15/16 in West Wales on a holiday. No riding hats in those days unless you had your own. I won't ride now after a broken collar bone and weeks of pain. Too much risk. And that was falling off my 🚴♂️ #horses #equestrian #teenageyears #fun
There's nothing like a good pub quiz, and last night, we had quite a few unanswerables. Like, what was Wallis Simpson's maiden name? As a Brit, no bloody idea. I've never seen a fastest finger first tie breaker with props before. #pubquiz #britishlife #writerslife #questions #answers #welshlife
Speaking at a #London4Europe rally, #AndrewHesselden explains how tackling the omertà around Freedom of Movement of People could help unlock the political and practical impasse created by Brexit.

Bremain in Spain quote tweeting a Save FOM video Bremain in Spain @bremaininspain.com · 3d Speaking at a #London4Europe rally, #AndrewHesselden explains how tackling the omertà around Freedom of Movement of People could help unlock the political and practical impasse created by Brexit.
Do you endorse this, Bremain in Spain, European Movement UK?
"[It's] a sense of unfairness too. Europeans visiting the UK can stay for 6 months —per visit. [Britons] ... are limited to 90 days — and that’s not per country, but that’s shared across the 29 Schengen countries"

Today, I've taken a print copy of my great, great uncle Bill to my mother. It was repaired for me by Copilot, so I whipped into 'Boots'and had 2 copies printed. #heritage #lineage #cavalry #british #uniform #familyhistory
His Dark Materials had an exhibition at the Glyn Vivian Gallery in Swansea a few years ago. It was majestic, to say the least. Meanwhile, this morning I've written the final chapter of Touch Wood. It helps to write it early. Still work to do. #hisdarkmaterials #booksky #fiction #television #film
I did appreciate the Russian doll with Orbán on the outside and Putin inside at the Tisza party 😀
Not really. 😜🤣🤣🤣
Congratulations!
Playing with follow-up novel teasers. This morning was researching maternity units and helipads. 🤣 A girl's gotta do. .. #booksky #choppers #diverse #novelists #sunday #wales
This photo has been saved by A.I. with a bit of tinkering by myself with the contrast, etc. It's an old family pic.

I'm looking forward to seeing this on my UK return. Our local Dylan Thomas theatre puts on wonderful productions. Support your local theatre. #writerslife #crime #sherlockholmes #theatre #swansealife #jacktheripper #drama #amateurdramatics #playwrights
Yesterday was spent in Murcia city for the Bando de la Huerta. Another big parade ending in a mad food giveaway from the huge antique farm vehicles. Stunning embroidered costumes made a beautiful day. Writing my column on the coach home in the dark 🤔😂 #writerslife #spain #festivals #bandodelahuerta
The £1300 Marchesi of Mayfair Easter egg will feature in my follow-up novel Touch Wood. When you've got that much money, what else would you buy your fiancé?😜 #booksky #eastereggs #novels #writerslife
Happy Easter! #easter #booksky #novelists #writerslife
April Fools Day ....and there are some crackers already online. It's also the first of the month. Time to say it for luck .... #whiterabbits #books #luck #fortunefavoursthebold #winnings #lottery #tryyourluck #writersofbluesky #buythebook
Equine excellence at the Easter parade in Spain. #writerslife #horses #equestrian #Easter #lorca #espana
250,000 people parading. Everything is handmade. Psalm Sunday at Lorca. Enough to turn you religious. Over two hours, skilled riders on horseback interspersed the parade with tricks, while Roman chariots charged down the street. Jaw dropping. #easterweek #semanasanta #holyweek #spain #writerslife
Off to see this today. Check out YouTube. Horses and chariots. So lucky to get a cancellation as we didn't expect to be in Spain over Easter. It's likely to be cold as lots of wind forecast. It'll be a lengthy parade. #easter #semanasanta #writerslife #spain #epic #Romans #beingprepared
Oops the bookcase isn't at the house, it's in the museum.
I'm very lucky to live in the same city as Dylan Thomas did. I've visited the birthplace a few times, a couple of which were for live readings of A child's Christmas in Wales. It's a steep climb. Johnny Depp has been, too. #dylanthomas #awriterslife #poets #undermilkwood #newyork #swansea #welsh
