I’ve completed the final mile of my 44-mile walk in October to raise money in memory of Bowelbabe Dame Deborah James who died from bowel cancer aged 44. I suffered from a Stage Three bowel cancer in the last two years so please donate at fundraise.cancerresearchuk.org/page/simons-... - thanks
Massive thank you! Your support has raised £365 for @cancerresearchuk.org. Today’s walk took me over looking down onto my childhood home - thank you so much to everyone who’s supported me - If you can bung a few quid to help save lives, visit fundraise.cancerresearchuk.org/page/simons-...
14 miles done, 30 to go in my Walking 44 miles challenge in memory of Dame Deborah James - who died aged 44 of bowel cancer. I’m raising money for @cancerresearchuk.org so if you fancy donating visit fundraise.cancerresearchuk.org/page/simons-...

I’ve done my first two miles of the 44 I’m planning in memory of Dame Deborah James. I’ve suffered from bowel cancer as she did, so please donate if you can fundraise.cancerresearchuk.org/page/simons-...

Celebrating my 31st wedding anniversary!
If you’re in Morecambe try the Midland Hotel - the architecture may give you inspiration for your next detective adventure
Dramatic skies over Kendal tonight
She’s enjoying the book though - and threatening me with snails😳
@jayrayner1.bsky.social gutted to find out via my wife reading your book in the sun today that your inspiration to become a restaurant critic wasn’t the story you told me to write in 1986 which gave me my first byline in Leeds Student “Sarnies War” but something else entirely. Ruined my street cred!
We could shift Windermere and the other lakes and our fells there as well, perhaps. I’m sure the 15m visitors would be doubled with better weather….
I was there for that! Couldn’t imagine what we were going to see unleashed on the football world. Strachan should go down as one of the best signings we have ever made - £300k?
@meetanostomate.bsky.social I’m day 11 post surgery to reverse my ileostomy. I still have a very distended stomach, but got home from hospital yesterday and slept properly for the first time last night. Now to build myself back up - any tips from anyone who has been through similar? #stoma #postop
I said the same at the match. I’ve now bought a lottery ticket
What a game to get to. 7-0!! #mot
Stupid question - but doesn’t gravity help with the downward version - and might you be more prone to leaks going sideways?
First trip to Elland Road for 18 months due to #cancer. And my old hometown club Harrogate Town put up a great fight #leedsunited
Beautiful view of Kendal with the fells to the north
I love this film so had slight trepidation going to the Stavely Players performing a radio play of it. I needn’t have worried - it was fabulous and the Old Laundry Theatre in Bowness is beautiful!
Without libraries I would never have come across this - which I thoroughly enjoyed
Better than the first - really recommend this for fans of detective stories.@hollyhauthor.bsky.social really writes in an engaging way - hopefully there are more to come!
Sensible. You’ll wear the disc out by watching it. When DVDs come back in, it’ll be worth more (Yorkshire logic that)
Yes!! Definitely!!
Fabulous - I really enjoyed it - I love finding a new author I enjoy. You’ve a really engaging style! Have ordered the Cursed Writer already!
Thank you for sharing your stories.
Ooh - following this with interest. I’ve had loads of information about each stage but really wondering what to expect next.
@hollyhauthor.bsky.social I picked up this in our local library and really enjoyed it - thank you for writing such an engaging book which I really recommend. Are there more adventures to come please?

Mine got bigger - but I also developed a hernia around it (I was very sick in hospital). I think it’s pretty normal for it to change in size over time. Hope all is going well
Sometimes you’ve just got to start getting into the Christmas spirit early!!
I’m waiting for my date after bowel cancer treatment. How is life different from before please? Do you have and issues with food?
