My head was dunked down the school toilet for not shaving my legs. I got beaten to a pulp after school simply because someone didn’t like me. Every day contained threats and terror. The school bus was a nightmare. Bullying was the soundtrack to my childhood in school. To say I hated school doesn’t even […]
These autumnal days bring such a different energy, don’t they? The light is different. It’s definitely nippy! I find myself enjoying the comforts of the hearth: the warmth of the crackling fire; the lamplight to read by; conversations with my family and friends; a snuggle with one of the cats; cello music on the stereo; […]

It’s quick and easy to make, and tastes gorgeous! I first wrote about this dessert in my novel, Bluey’s Café: Home […]
Today I’m collating recipes and photos for Veganuary. Have you heard of it yet? It’s launching this September, and the campaign is kick-starting in January 2015. The campaign aims to reduce the suffering of animals by inspiring people to ‘try vegan’ every January… Their goal is: to show the wider world how exciting, delicious, […]
Oh my gosh, it’s suddenly come on all dark, grey, damp and chilly here in the north of England. My feet are cosied up in thick socks, but the goosebumps on my arms make my thoughts turn to lunch: red lentil soup. My daughter, Eliza, has started taking a thermos to school so she can […]
