Does anyone know why one of our chickens has started sleeping in a hanging basket? (I'm looking at you @NovelistJessica)

As a treat for progressing with my edits, I read @katiejlumsden’s The Trouble With Mrs Montgomery Hurst. Katie's writing is so charming, I just wanted to keep turning the pages. It’s warm and witty, with a wonderful cast of quirky characters whose company I found irresistible.

Sobbing. What a beautiful piece of writing
