I love the cafe at MOMA Oxford, with its bright colour palette and Rennie Mackintosh furniture vibe. #MOMAOxford

Red admiral resting upside down alongside snail on the wall of 10th-century church St Peter & St Paul, Long Compton, Warwicks (noted for its thatched lydgate and long history of witchcraft allegations!).

Thanks to Andrew Lloyd-Jones for the illustration on my long-read mystery: #stories #illustrations #mysteries

The peonies only last a few days so I take as many photos as I can! (fragile flowers at risk from sudden breezes and cats). #flowers #gardens #summer

Happy to be mentioned on the cover of a recent magazine special and to have my Pocket Novel A Wilful Woman (intrigue, blackmail, romance!) also mentioned. #magazines #stories #mult-genre

First garden snowdrops of the year. May the sweet & unassuming snowdrop bloom in your heart for the coming year. #snowdrops #flowers #gardens #winter

Ted welcomes the new year in deceptively relaxed style, having destroyed a rug, a curtain and my new pair of slippers.

Thanks to Sally Jenkins for this lovely review: #gothic #spooky #ghosts #paranormal

These are today's lovelies, throwing fascinating shapes (and not a little shade) in a hothouse. #trees #nature #winter

Many thanks to Manon Gandiolle for the illustration to my Christmas story about the so-called phoney war of late 1939, when many parents were torn over the necessity of evacuating their children. #illustrations #Christmas #stories #magazines

Dave sends darkling love.

Same to you! (says Dave).
