I've now seen Sherwood Forest throughout the seasons, and while it's always beautiful, this time of year is definitely my favourite! Had a lovely long walk on Saturday taking in all the autumn foliage and fungi. Every time we go I get re-inspired to write my sapphic YA Robin Hood retelling 😅 #sherwoodforest #robinhood #autumnvibes #mushrooms🍄 #forestwalk Simba likes to reach out and touch my knee when he's sitting next to me. He does it to Luke too. It's a little reminder that he's here with us 😊😻 and that he wants his dinner 😅 #instacat #catstagram #catsofinstagram #everythingthelighttouches #indoorcat #housecat #furbaby #lifewithacat Decided to finally try @gusandbellabox this month and I'm super impressed! Great selection including lots of treats for Simba. Of course, his favourite thing was the box it all came in! 😅📦😻 #catstagram #instacat #catsofinstagram #gusandbellabox #subscriptionbox #caturday #epilepticcat #epilepticcatsofinstagram #everythingthelighttouches Had an amazing time attending GIFCon 2022 over the last few days - had this one keeping me company for lots of it! I presented a live conference paper for the first time, networked with loads of amazing researchers, and also managed to squeeze in attending a seminar from the Young Adult Studies Association last night. Lots of ideas percolating in my brain right now! #catstagram #catsofinstagram #conferencecats @gifcon_gla @yastudiesassoc @uofgfantasy I know it's been a very long time since I posted anything but hey, it's World Book Day and I just finished this amazing read that I've been hearing good things about for years. The characters in this book feel so warm and real ❤ hope all the book lovers out there find some time to read today #worldbookday #reading #bookstagram #booklover #bookworm
