Thanks to everyone who’s followed me on my Twitter and latterly X account over the past few years but for fairly obvious reasons I won’t now be posting on this site. You’ll find me on Instagram for words and images of books, gardening, art and, of course, Cornwall.

@MatthiabDewi Hi. Since the changes to twitter I’ve used the site less and less - certainly not hourly or even daily - apologies. Tried to send you a DM but your name isn’t accepted (?). Perhaps you could send me a DM, an email or Instagram? Thanks.

With a packed audience at @StratLitFest to talk to @paddygrant about ethical fashion, #CommunityClothing and of course #SewingBee.

Padstow May Day 1977 was - quite by the chance - the day I came to Cornwall so delighted to see #BarbaraSanti ‘s marvellous #KingForADay at @NewlynFilmhouse. Do see it if you can.
