Good morning! I am in a state of high alert because I think I’m going to deliver my book on Monday or Tuesday. Famous last words, but it feels probable. And then I will spontaneously combust with joy and lie in the garden in the blissful sun.
I posted this amazing tree on Notes yesterday afternoon but am putting it here again because - well, because look at it. It’s in the churchyard of St Mary’s in Bungay, in Suffolk (where the delicious restaurant is). No filter or other fiddling about with my camera settings - it really is this extraordinary shade of pink. What a tree.
To the links! I hope you’re reading this in bed and that you have a cup of tea. Behind the paywall, we have a house for sale in Wales, espresso cups, why I’ve come to hate self-deprecation, a glowy primer, drawings I’ve liked, lots of excellent Substack writing that you might have missed (easily done - there’s so much of it), a great cotton blanket/throw, useful Italian holiday links, my new favourite cookbook, etc.
