    May - you were glorious. Sunshine on the hedgerows, wisteria, cow parsley-thronged lanes, sunshine, the satisfaction of work, writing, a birthday trip to Jane Austen’s House, meals in the garden at every opportunity, sea swims, and re-reading Mary Wesley on the beach.

    I am asked this at least once a week and it’s one of those ‘how long is a piece of string’ style questions. See also: what’s the best book you’ve read recently? In answer to which I always, always, without fail….go completely blank. I met Cesca Major (who was lovely) at a book launch last Wednesday, and she asked me this and I gaped like a particularly clueless goldfish. I must start keeping a list on my phone which I can whip out on such occasions.

Very taken with social media commentary on #StrictlyFinal. "Fix. It's not like the BBC haven't got form. Remember the Blue Peter cat?..."
