and it’s been snowing here in Suffolk – not enough to settle yet but very pretty. Puddles are icing over during the night and there are thick frosts in the fields. Although it’s bitterly cold now, the winter light is stunningly clear and there are some fabulous views if you brave the weather and venture outside which – as a dog owner – I’m obliged to do twice a day! Here are some photos from recent walks:
Life at Mulberry Cottage continues to make me smile and, this week, it was super smiles as we bought our first Christmas tree and decorated it with all the pretty gold, purple and pink decorations I’ve been collecting over the past few weeks and it looks lovely! I can’t wait to show it off at the little party we’re throwing next week.

I’ve been working best in the evenings since moving here – once it’s dark and the great outdoors is no longer a temptation! I’ve got rewrites to finish for The Runaway Actress and I’ve been working on a novella too – more about that another time. Then, it’s back to the brand new novel, The Aphrodite Touch. I’m really excited about this one and can’t wait to return to work on it.
