Before more time escapes, or I get distracted by something else, here are a few of the things I’ve loved lately, from the first two-and-a-bit months of 2022.
Looking back and moving forward
As we approach two years of pandemic life, I’m realising more and more that it’s unrealistic to expect my writing habits to have remained unchanged in this time. I’m not the person I was in January 2020. Neither are you.
What I’ve been loving lately: September 2021
Here are some things I loved during September 2021 (yes, this post is a little late, but life is busy like that!)
Winchester Poetry Festival 2021
AD – press ticket | I was thrilled to attend one of the three Festival weekend days, making my way into Winchester on Saturday 9 October for around seven hours of stanzas, syllables and sonnets.
Poem | Sestet in the City
Happy National Poetry Day 2021! Here's my latest poem; an ode, of sorts, to how poetry can be found in our lives every single day.
Poem | Quiet, please
Naturally, to mark Libraries Week 2021, I penned a poem, celebrating these special places. Happy reading!

An afternoon at Beats and Eats Southampton
