It has to be said, it's been a very busy time. Here's what I've been up to...

Firstly we've had lots of friends and family visiting, which has involved things like taking them out on fishing trips.


Followed by cooking lots of lovely meals from our catch. (We caught the mackerel. The rest came from a shop.)


I've been making new friends.

...and trying to find a quiet spot away from the millions of holiday-makers who love St Ives as much as I do.

I've been running creative writing workshops...


...going on writing retreats with fellow children's authors...


...visiting beautiful locations to get inspiration for my next book...


And, of course, finding a bit of time to write.


Hope you're having a lovely summer! Let me know what you've been up to too!
