Sani update: I arrived today & within a minute of getting my coat off, she was lying next to the pedals of the piano, tail wagging & hitting the floor, waiting for the music. She seems to start howling when the music is high up and loud. The slow mvt of Brahms kept her at peace.

My friends’ dog in Helsinki, Sani, reacts to the opening of Brahms’ 1st Piano Concerto that I perform in London on March 9th with ⁦@Fideliocaf⁩ Orchestra. Wait for it, about 30 seconds in....!!!

We are raising money to repair the roof of #LittleMassinghamChurch The latest fundraising is to make quilt ‘Hugs’ to drape around the outside of the church as it needs a bit of a hug. Anyone can sponsor a section. At the end of the project the hugs will be given to #CareLeavers

I drew our shop for a totebag design.

Books have been proudly sold on this site since 1848.

We have ghosts, three floors of books and a shop dog called Heidi. We are currently undergoing a fancy full shop refit.

For sale soon… maybe… we’ll see

On August 15 I'll be the secret garden of the Castle Bookshop in Ludlow - talking about the themes and real-life inspiration for my historical gothic novel, The Fascination. Would be lovely to see anyone who happens to be in the area.

'By the later Middle Ages, it was agreed that May – and especially the first of May – was the most magical time of the year, an auspicious day for marvellous dreams, love-trysts, and encounters with fairies.'
Love this by @ClerkofOxford on the poetry of spring!

Hawthorn flowers are also called #May blossom. They are sacred to the goddess Brigid when she brings new life & fertility & appear from April to June. Known as a faery tree, the hawthorn should never be harmed, & brings love & healing to the heart. #FolkloreSunday #Beltane #1May
