I had the most joyous day of doing jiu jitsu, going to the library, eating crisps and working on my mail club, and realised that while I’ve experienced so much by my mid-forties, so much of what I love and do now has tapped into what I loved as a child.

It’s a wonderful realisation because I think so much if not all of my 30s was working towards some approximation of what I thought adulthood was. A certain type of job, dinner parties, clothes, where you lived etc.

Now it feels like a lot of those things are relatively immaterial. Something I have loved in my 40s is seeing this change in myself and my peers - the working of what actually matters and what gives them joy.

It was a huge privilege to interview Betty - I wasn’t sure if she’d say yes, but I’m forever grateful. Her interview features in She Wanted More. #over40 #joy #midlife #womenover40

A VERY EXCITING ANNOUNCEMENT! Having been obsessed with the idea of mail clubs - which are popular in the US and growing in the UK - I’m launching my own mail club set in a fantasy world, that combines original storytelling with beautiful illustrations, maps, collectible affirmation cards and stickers. (It’s a monthly subscription that you get in the post).

In a world where more and more of us are seeking ways to be offline, and crave things not created by AI, this is something you can feel, touch, look forward to that doesn’t involve a screen. (And you shouldn’t have to wait till your birthday or someone’s wedding to get gorgeous stationery in the post).

My mail club is set in a comic-fantasy, whimsical semi-medieval world where the main character is a goblin named Emerald. Why goblins? Because I believe a) they get bad press and b) each of us have a goblin self that maybe we could learn to love and unleash a bit more.

The story: Emerald has finally managed to convince her parents to let her leave the sleepy goblinshire of Rumble for the big shiny faerie city, Goldentown. It is home to many different creatures from ‘high faeries’ aka snobby elves to the ‘lower faeries’ aka everyone else - goblins, trolls, wraiths, gnomes, vampires, nymphs and more. But is everything as shiny as it seems? Emerald is about to find out, as she embarks on a journey to make friends, find love and change people’s hearts and minds about who they believe goblins to be. (Especially the milk-stealing accusations - she’s lactose intolerant, for crying out loud!)

Every month, Emerald will write you a letter telling you a story that opens up the world of Goldentown.

My incredible illustrator @goblin_ems will help bring the world to life. Emilia is a small, UK based illustrator who loves all things medieval and whimsical - especially kindness, critters, folklore, and a seething hatred for AI.

While it is aimed at adults, the content is also appropriate for teenagers.

THE IMPORTANT BIT: the club launches in September but the waitlist is open now (link in bio) and there are limited spaces. There is international shipping but currently no shipping to the EU. #mailclub

The viewing stand had already begun to fill, the lords and ladies clutching their cloaks tight about them against the morning chill. Smallfolk were drifting toward the field as well, and hundreds of them already stood along the fence. So many come to see me die, thought Dunk bitterly, but he wronged them. A few steps farther on, a woman called out “Good fortune to you.” An old man stepped up to take his hand and said, “May the gods give you strength, ser.” Then a begging brother in a tattered brown robe said a blessing on his sword, and a maid kissed his cheek. They are for me. “Why?” he asked Pate. “What am I to them?”

“A knight who remembered his vows,” the smith said.
