I’m going 😊 Looking forward to being on a panel with the fabulous @fionajanemack.bsky.social & @jupiterjonz.bsky.social

Thanks Tracy! 🙏 xx

Thanks Lori! x

This is lovely, Tracie. The images of your shy younger self and, later, the people on the plane falling to their knees at the news of her death- very powerful. Diana was a force in the world for sure. I hope to be able to find a publisher for my NIF soon - watch this space for news! xx

Thanks James! xx

Right back at you, sir! See you in Bristol! xxx

Wish I was in Balto to sing some karaoke with you guys, but I'm in Scotland right now. Have a blast! x

Love this Sherry! Great metaphor, lovely language, and dark humor expertly combined. xx

A man and woman in front of the Kelpies and a perfect blue sky.

Finally made it to the Kelpies that rise up near the M9 near Falkirk. In Scottish mythology, kelpies are malevolent water-horses that lure people onto their backs and drown them, but as imagined by Andy Scott, the sculptor, they are both powerful and magnificent.

Thank YOU Laura! 🙏

Such a beautiful piece 🌸
