Me, too! Still being on the edge of the Peak District (I head to London tomorrow), I'm soaking as much local color and quirkiness as I can, and I've been busy writing more Maggie B stories. I'm currently sitting at 35, with more to come! 😊

I'm still deep in Maggie country—Derbyshire, the Peak District—where even the sheep look like they’re carrying secrets. The lanes, the benches, the allotments… all of it feels like source material waiting to trip me up.

I’ve even been photographing parish council minutes (photo below) in the name of “research.” Call it deep fieldwork—or nosiness with a notebook. Either way, I’ll be coming back with echoes, textures, and probably enough inspiration to keep Maggie busy for years. 😊
