I’m in England; I’m a novelist and author, published by Penguin Random House; I write for The Sunday Times; I’m a Londoner who moved to the country 10 years ago; I have three children and two step-children, also three dogs, 11 hens and 5 goats. Hello!

This is a newsletter about the things I most enjoy. It is a place of enthusiasms - books, food, home life, interiors, gardens, interesting bits I’ve come across and liked, plus chatting.

I love writing it, and I love the community that has built up around it. Do come and join us!
