If you've been thinking about ordering DOG DAYS OUT, I'd love for you to do it here directly from me. Why? Because if you order on Amazon, I'll get about a quid. If you order from me, I'll get about £8. Payment link here, and books come signed 👇🐾

OMG GUYS. I've been head hunted. It's a digital editor role. It's hybrid working - the dream - and the office isn't far from my home! And, get this, they're going to pay me £22,000 a year! A whole £1,800 LESS than I earned in my starting job in publishing a DECADE ago! 🥂🎉👍

Just finished @MrAndrewCotter 's audiobook of #OliveMabelAndMe . Utterly gorgeous record of his life in dogs, written without a single patronising "pup" or "pooch" in its pages. Dog writing is all too often twee and childish, but this book is perfection.

By the end of this month, I'll have *personally* sold over 1,000 copies of my own book since it was released in May 😱 I can't quite believe that. I'm very keen to know how it's going in the actual bookshops! 🤔

Took my last urine sample to the Oxford Vaccine Centre today and it's confirmed: I'm going to be taking part in the #covid19 vaccine trials! Took the opportunity to explore some bluebell woods near the hospital with the dog too 🐾 we'll be spending some more time here, it seems!

Read a late-night email from editor last night as "there were quite a few queries on your pieces" and went to sleep feeling a bit shit. Just re-read email so I could reply and it says "there were *so few* queries on your pieces" 🤦‍♀️ Damn my subconscious imposter syndrome.

Today @loveEXPLORING turns exactly one year old. It's astonishing to me that I was a one-woman team a year ago and now we are a team of three, with loads of brilliant freelancers and over 55,000 users a month. 😀
