@JoCallaghanKat @Waterstones This is so glorious! How wonderful. Sending you lots of love and congratulations xx

[Kerry Fisher Author @KerryFSwayne]

Five years ago @Pat_sowa & I were writing Take My Hand, about what we'd learnt during a very traumatic time. We know now that it's helped others navigate their own dark periods.
We still talk grief, life & death but also laugh a lot.

Gorgeous in #Yorkshire today & thanks to all our road clearers: gritters, snowploughs & farmers

[Kerry and Pat @KerryandPat]

When we moved house last year one of the hardest things to leave behind was crocuses planted by Dom. I dug up some, left some there. Crossed my fingers and here is the first one. Hope & love in a little flower ❤️‍🩹

[Kerry and Pat @KerryandPat]

@pat_sowa Love them!

[Kerry and Pat @KerryandPat]

Hope in flower form. Love a snowdrop.

[Kerry and Pat @KerryandPat]

The sight of the daffodils pushing through the frozen ground always fills me with hope.

[Kerry and Pat @KerryandPat]

@MissLauraMarcus @LissaKEvans I second audiobooks. Set them on a 15-min timer & inevitably asleep by then (nothing to do with the books, just seems to break the whirling loop in my head and allow me to relax)

[Kerry and Pat @KerryandPat]

I've always liked the saying, 'May every sunrise bring more hope, may every sunset bring more peace'. Do you have a mantra to bring you comfort?

[Kerry and Pat @KerryandPat]

@adeleandmaddie Absolutely glorious! Love tulips. X

[Kerry and Pat @KerryandPat]

One of the things that gave us so much comfort after the most difficult year of our lives was seeing the spring bulbs coming through. I don't know who needs to see this, but this is for you.

@KimTheBookworm @threadbooks_ Thank you x
