It's #IWD2024 , so here's a blog about a REALLY impressive woman called Agnes Marshall. She was a Victorian chef who invented the ice cream cone, as well as a fast freezer, and over 1,000 ice cream moulds. ‘Souffles of Curry à la Ripon’ anyone? https://t.co/weGs8GFDyF

Do you want to improve your skills in storytelling in writing (with me!), or in collage art, social media, animation or 3D world-building?

New year - time for some "you time" to refresh and take stock. In our "Writing for wellbeing" course in #ilkley, we'll introduce the simple and effective technique of #freewriting & explore what compassion means to each of us. Want to join? Get in touch! https://t.co/OmjeVnK5YS

While the usual winter bugs are going around, I wish I'd followed the 'an apple a day keeps the doctor away advice' because I'm full of cold!!! Find out some more apple sayings in this @Europeanaeu blog! https://t.co/NXVltJT5KS

[Beth Daley @CakesAndCopy]

@HannaJson Yes, because one day some patronising idiot will say to you, 'Is that Miss or Mrs' and you can look them in the eye and say, 'It's Doctor'. (And for other reasons too, but that's a good one).

[Beth Daley @CakesAndCopy]

Writing isn't all about publication. Writing can help you work through your thoughts, and discover how to be compassionate to yourself and to others.

Join Dr Rebekah Olive and myself at Olive Branch Therapy, Ilkley, and let's take some me-time together. #amwriting #wellbeing

One space left on my 'Festive Flash Fiction' course on 10 Nov. We'll be looking at a couple of beautiful traditional Christmas texts, and a couple of really rather dark ones. And one set in space. Intrigued? Take up that last place! https://t.co/Ud2O0ey2td @artisOnmasham

It was lovely to work with artist Lela Harris on this piece for #BlackHistoryMonth about her Black Lancastrians portrait work.
And Lela has been nominated for a @MuseumsAssoc Museums Change Lives award for this work. Take a look!

This might be my new favourite thing. Live webcam from the stunning @minacktheatre What other theatres, museums or cultural places do a good webcam? Might make me a list... https://t.co/w6npbZk79c

What are the elements of a festive story? Do we always encounter hope and positivity in them, or are there darker tales to tell? And where do you start? Join me at @artison to find out! https://t.co/FGkffTfzl6 #flashfiction

[Beth Daley @CakesAndCopy]

Delighted to have two poems in the Ripon Poetry Festival anthology! I'm reading at the launch event on Saturday 23rd Sep. Do I read the one about the state of the planet or the one about making a cup of tea? Both contain some level of existential angst. https://t.co/68ytiItly4

[Beth Daley @CakesAndCopy]

These pictures are really quite mesmerising on the screen. I bet they're amazing in real life!

@mossmontmomery @WalkerBooksUK Just finished reading this to my daughter and she loved it! We're hoping there's a Spellstone sequel to come. Is there? Pretty please?

[Beth Daley @CakesAndCopy]

This was so much fun to research! And made me remember watching The Family Ness on TV as a kid!
