A short story writer specialising in horror and darkly comic fiction. When not writing or working, I love walking through the dramatic, varied landscapes of beautiful Northumberland.

12th Century St Aidan's church, Bamburgh #Northumberland with the castle beyond. The original wooden church was founded by St Aidan in 635. He died here, leaning against a wooden beam or buttress which, it is claimed, miraculously survived two fires and is now in the ceiling of the baptistry.

Loving my #wildflowers My new front garden was just gravel and circles of paving. Moved one of the circles to the back for a patio, cut out the exposed membrane, raked the surface and scattered over wildflower seeds. Its now a blaze of colour filled with bees and hoverflies. Wonderful!

The great tower of Norham Castle on the River Tweed #Northumberland. Built in the 12th century to defend the border with Scotland, it was fortified in 1513 to help it withstand Scottish guns. JMW Turner painted several versions, most famous being Norham Castle, Sunrise housed in Tate Britain.
