If you are pro Palestine, watch this

If you are pro Israel watch this

If you are on the fence watch this

If you don’t care, watch this

Scarlet Waxcap (Hygrocybe coccinea) — a beautiful and important indicator species of healthy, ancient grassland and my most exciting final find to date!

Yes I found it in the Brecon Beacons and no I’m not going to tell you exactly where- it was in the hills above Hay-go explore! With a copy of ’s brilliant to guide you.

Remember: NEVER EAT mushrooms in the wild based on social media posts.

5000 years ago when Carreg Samson (pictured) was erected, the first urban centres began to appear in Palestine. They built structures in stone that survive to this day too.

Today, Palestinians released from horrific detainment are not allowed to welcome their loved ones home with a celebration. Many are discovering that they have no one left.

Remember this.

The ceasefire is not the end.

Waiting with the rest of the world for the promised ceasefire, the anxiety got too much and so we went to the beach.

I walked along writing names in the sand until my back and my wrists were sore.

Do what helps, even if it feels a little nuts (like writing messages in the sand for people who will never see them- NOT setting the house on fire)

This is not the end. Hope and keep the faith🙏🏾

I was horrified to hear about the attack at Heaton Park synagogue last week. No family should have to suffer the loss of a loved one in such a manner.

I am also bracing for the backlash. And feeling a little lost. If anyone has advice on how to navigate these frankly demented times, please🙏🏽

When there’s no other avenue left, remember this. Money talks, refuse to buy, use, or support goods, services, or institutions that support genocide.

(Picture taken by Jeremy, who is super charming and posted with permission). I got no photos of my own talk or any of the food (SHOCKING) because I was thoroughly star struck.

Thank you and for this wonderful opportunity and thank you for being the BEST EVER interviewer!

I was terrified before I posted my first pro-Palestine post.

I still am.

But gave me the strength to shout louder.

And my wonderful community here in Brecon keeps me going.

So whoever needs this post, for whenever you are ready to speak up, tag me and I’ll be there for you.

Next Sunday, 21st September 2025, at 2:30pm, your girl’s gonna be at the on the LOCAL AND VOCAL STAGE 😱 (yes I mean me 🙄) in conversation with the simply wonderful Alice Peck.

I’ll be talking about my first two books, both published this year by and

Both books have a Palestinian story 🙏🏾 these days it feels as if I’ll never write again, but I’ll always be grateful for these.
