I finished walking Offa's Dyke a couple of weekends ago. Grey skies over the Severn here. It's been such a joy to walk these 177 miles (I'm totally sure I did more than that!!) with some of the best women in my life. And the first draft of my novel continues apace...

Off to Brussels tomorrow to run a writing workshop for the Summer Institute in Urban Studies. Very excited to meet everyone and chat writing and creativity (less excited about the taxi I've just booked for 4am....)

Had a wonderful (HOT) day's hiking on Monday. 17 miles on Offa's Dyke from Pandy to Monmouth - research for my new novel. Don't think I've ever seen so many butterflies!

Bloody delighted to have won a Northern Writers Award for Fiction from @newwritingnorth.bsky.social for my novel-in-progress, about four women walking Offa's Dyke, taking in their friendship, their lives, their mothering, their ageing. This award is such a wonderful boost.

It's my final week as a Royal Literary Fund fellow this week. Three years working with brilliant history students (and staff) at the University of Manchester. I'm going to miss it!
