Bear’s big sandy ❤️

Really hoping Irish Twitter can do some kind of magic. Our gorgeous Nancy who NEVER strays is missing. She does have a habit of looking in cars and I’m worried she jumped in someone’s car. If you were in Oranmore yesterday maybe you noticed her?

Rainy street in London

Years ago I might've been out singing and carousing but today it's hanging with my children and dog and being fairly chuffed I have the bones of a new short story. It's what St. Patrick would have wanted, or something.

Mother’s Day present ❤️🤣❤️

This was pure joy! I loved talking to Ruth McKee about books that have played a big role in my life. We had a great chat about childhood, teenage years, religion, music, meeting the love of my life & illness. And I was blown away by the lovely things Ruth said about Traces ❤️🙏

Spring in the blood and the air this morning ☀️

mentioning this again - please rt or ask Hauser & Wirth ArtReview_ why they set this arbitrary age barrier - one that particularly affects primary carers of children whose abillity to take residencies is reduced during a child's early years (UK average first motherhood is age 29)
