This week, I had the pleasure of a book signing at one of my favourite stores – Jarrold in Norwich.  They had a wonderful display of my books and there were posters up all over the city to promote the release of The Runaway Actress:

It’s always lovely to meet my readers and hear what they think about the books and it’s especially encouraging when they start so young!

I was also interviewed for BBC Radio Norfolk so it’s been a busy week away from the desk.

Back at home now and there’s a novel to finish and hens to take care of.  Alice is still unwell, poor love.  She’s been sleeping indoors and isn’t eating much.  We’ll keep an eye on her but maybe she’s just getting old.

Little Flo has been enjoying life as a free-range hen.  Here she is having a dust bath:

And here’s the lovely Primrose having a cuddle in front of the Spookiest Shed in Suffolk!

Poor Primrose took a bit of a dip in the pond the other day but managed to pull herself out and wasn’t any the worse for the experience.  Mariette’s been trying to lay her eggs in the hedge a la Dotty, and all the new girls are growing brand new feathers so that ‘oven-ready’ look will soon be a thing of the past!
