It’s fair to say that in my head I’m still about 17, not over 40 🙈. I’ve spent the last couple of weeks reading young adult fiction - this one, and The Year After You, which I posted about a few squares back. Even when I’m writing myself I tend to write about teenagers so there’s definitely something going on there. So much emotion at that age, it always draws me in 💙. I’m now in that strange void of looking-for-something-to-read-but-it’s-got-to-be-brilliant-because-the-last-two-books-I’ve-read-were-amazing. (And by the way, if you liked the Netflix adaption, this book is absolutely fab!). Me, feeling happy because: 1) it’s half term and we don’t have to get up early Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday (😊). 2) It was bright enough for sunglasses yesterday - and it’s looking like the same again today 🌞. 3) I got a £10 off voucher from @boden_clothing in the post towards this jumper I’d been eyeing online after seeing it on @suzanne_insideout’s feed a while back (and it was reduced anyway - *does happy dance*). Always something to smile about. What are you feeling grateful for today? 😊 Nope, it’s not John O’ Groats y’know ☺️. #mostnortherlypoint #dunnethead #sundayouting #theendoftheroad Feeling grateful today for lovely gifts from a thoughtful friend who wanted to say thankyou. 💙Looking forward to trying out this @thewhitecompany bath foam later (anyone who knows me knows I spend approximately half my life just soaking in the bath 🙈). Also planning to find a permanent home for this stunning @inspiredbycaithness card by local maker Lisa, showing one of my favourite #caithness views - I love it! The flowers I bought myself, as it appears I can’t resist anything with ‘spring’ or ‘bouquet’ in the title 🙈 (darn you Lidls and your enticing displays of pretty blooms 💐☺️). I pretty much always have a notepad and pen with me when I’m out and about - you never know when a bit of writerly inspiration might hit (plus, it compensates for my awful memory). I get a lot of inspiration from the beach, and landscapes in general (and the bath - you’d be surprised how many lightbulb moments I’ve had while soaking in a tub of Epsom salts 🛀☺️). Over on the blog today I’m chatting about writing plans for 2019 (nothing like a bit of public accountability to get you motivated, now, is there?) The link is in my bio if you fancy it. Happy Friday, insta-friends! 💙 Throwing it back to memories of the city of love for Valentine’s Day (although a damp day in the north of Scotland hanging out with your absolute favourites still works, too 💙.) #family
