Sargent and Fashion @Tate Britain is a feast for the senses. You can tell he was fascinated by not only by costume, but also by the people within. They could easily walk from the paintings and speak to you. And he clearly liked the women he painted - they’re SO vividly real!

Stopped off at Southwell on the way home today. Oh my word, why have I never visited this gorgeous small town and its glorious minster before?

Tomorrow #Fyneshade will be published by @ViperBooks I poured everything I love about the Gothic into this book - and then I twisted it until it screamed 😉 Here’s a little video I made… Sound up for a haunted ‘Easter egg’ clue. If you know, you’ll know 🖤🕯️🌙

One of my husband’s most cherished objects - an Eric Ravilious designed #coronation mug from 1953.
