I’m so lucky to be back in the Tuscan countryside for the third time teaching a Writer’s Retreat.

And look. This time I have some help!

Croatian National Theatre, Zagreb

I’m here at the ballet. My son isn’t in tonight’s pieces but it’s great to see all the people I hear him talking about on stage. What a privilege.

Lincoln is one of my favourite cities – that’s why I set In a Single Moment there. And I was lucky enough to be there very early this morning.

I like to get away from my desk on mornings like this, just for half an hour or so. I listen to podcasts as I walk along and come back refreshed and ready to go.

I generally find some company.
