Well, look who popped into Tamarisk today! 🤩💜
The wonderful Brenda Blethyn! Yes, THE Brenda Blethyn, iconic actress and all-round national treasure.
She and Amanda had a lovely time together, with plenty of laughs. Brenda was, of course, absolutely delightful, and left with a rather impressive Tamarisk haul!
What a treat to have her visit us. Thank you, Brenda, you’ve made our day! 💕

Woman Of Substance (2026) First 3 Minutes

📽️ She went from Yorkshire maid to New York’s richest woman - and she never forgot who wronged her.
“A Woman of Substance” (2026) follows Emma Harte across six decades - young and hungry in 1911 (Jessica Reynolds), then formidable and powerful in the 1970s (Brenda Blethyn).
One woman, one relentless masterplan: get to the top, whatever it takes. Betrayal, forbidden love, class warfare, and a revenge plot decades in the making.
Based on Barbara Taylor Bradford’s iconic bestselling novel - the saga that basically wrote the blueprint for the “self-made woman” story.
Now streaming on @britbox. Have you started it yet?

Just a few more that wouldn't fit on my original post. Managed to get a few close ups! 😍

I know I haven't tagged all you lovely ladies in the last photo - apologies as I didn't get to meet you all!

There were so many highlights for me and I'm so glad I survived the whole weekend! 🤣

Who's ready for next year?! 🍻

Phew! 😅 It's took me an age to finally look through photos after recovering from my first ever visit to Theakston Old Peculier Crime Writing Festival!

I didn't take that many photos & they're not that good as I was far too busy taking everything in and wandering around in awe of it all! 🤣 But I had an amazing time!
I admit, I was absolutely exhausted but I already know I would do it all over again (hopefully next year!).

Apologies if I missed tagging anyone.

The lovely ‘Other John’ @johnmarrs.author and general fun and frolics around the festival with the group of Irish authors (missed you @michelledunneauthor ) featuring a splayed out @adele_parks. A liar detective test, the first Harrogate book wave and Brenda Blethyn - the memorable impromptu Irish dancer (when the mikes failed) by Brenda and Steph! And of course the gorgeous Hipwell girls! ‘Loughbru’ 😂
