Looks like we’re in for another hot spell which means one thing. Well, apart from having to shave my legs (that’s about as beach body ready as I’ll get).

In other news, my new novel This Is Us is out next month! It’s set in London, Florence and Mull and it’s mostly about love, relationships, female friendships, motherhood and (as ever) involves quite a lot of wine. I’d love for you to read it and if you love it, tell EVERYONE. Click to pre-order here.
