How lovely to meet Sherril yesterday at @BookendsCarl . She is the daughter of the late Jean Brennand, rural postwoman for Ambleside #Cumbria, who is featured in my book, The PostalPaths. (We're being photo bombed by illustrator @fellranger1 😁) https://t.co/mJmUakohOS

"How to be a writer? Read. Read. Read. Take a chance on a book. It might just be the best one you've ever read. And you can take that chance because we have such good public libraries," author Ann Cleeves talking at Words by the Water, Keswick. @WBTWKeswick #libraries Too right!

Oh, Keswick! I will be laughing for a while about the moment we discovered the Muse of Stationery lives in your Pencil Museum. Thanks for such a lovely night, and for packing out the most beautiful theatre in the country. Unfortunately I had to cope with these atrocious views…
