Thank you, Hotel Orient VIPs. This amazing group of bloggers & authors volunteers turned my little idea for #TheakstonsCrime shirts into something unbelievable and an unforgettable moment for my dad’s 75th birthday.

This was the best day of my life.

Until next year, #Harrogate

#WriteCBC “Lorna, look! How pretty!” Mary is pointing at a sea of glittery plastic mushrooms dotting the little wood undergrowth.
I want to cry.
“The kids will love it!” She claps excitedly. “Will they, Mary, when wildlife turn up dead from ingesting the glitter?”

[Emilie Castera @theanonymums]

@HelenVowles2 @cheltfestivals Helen, that is so kind! Thank you. It was lovely chatting to you at the end of it. Keep following us for future info!

[Emilie Castera @theanonymums]

Today was such a good day for us.
Not only we love @cheltfestivals, have been attending and volunteering for years but it was also where we decided (twice) to embark on our writing journey, together.
Reader, it’s all about friendship.
