"It’s good to have people in our lives who know the real us, but we all develop, and when friendships hold us back rather than allowing us or helping us to grow, they’re no longer healthy." My blog post this week is about friendship: clairescouch.substack.com/p/mad-about-ma… #amwriting #midlife

It's tipping it down in Vienna this morning, but I just opened a belated birthday present from my sister-in-law and the day is saved: a unicorn pen "Believe in Magic" and a chocolate bar "You are Wonderful"! I know what I'll be doing today 😊 #amwriting #WritingCommunity

Our garden project yesterday😩. Our neighbour shouted over, "I've decided on a wild theme this year." I kicked myself for not coming up with this idea sooner. I like wild. I DO NOT like digging, but I may have more muscles now 😊 I can't write, though - everything hurts today!

This watch is on the shutters of a shop near an ice cream parlour I go to with my kids. It inspired my first novel, which I'm trying to rewrite - again 🤞🏻. Now, when it's showing, I'm reminded to take my time and enjoy the moment - we need more such reminders. #amwriting

We just booked our summer holiday. I want what we did last year (photo) - a Greek fishing village, quiet - but my husband and kids want entertainment and bustle. I write about how to get around this in my blog this week if you fancy a read: clairescouch.substack.com/p/sun-sea-and #inspiration

Inspired a photo and possibly a story 🤔 Very pleased with the matching shoes 😉 #amwriting #writingprompts #writingcommunity

Maypole singing here today. My little one wanted to wear her dirndl but was worried she'd be the only one, so being a good mummy, I didn't let her down. When I arrived, there were lots of little girls in dirndls, but I was the only mummy wearing one 😅

This is the ticket for the theatre production of An Ideal Husband by Oscar Wilde, which I went to see in Vienna last night - I love the attention to detail - right down to the heart stamp. The show was good, too 😉 #theatre #Literature #comedy

This week my blog is all about the benefits of leaving your comfort zone: clairescouch.substack.com/p/lost-in-tran… #Motivation #wellbeing #comfortzone #growth

I got out of the city for the weekend, and I may have found the setting for the novel I'm writing. The sun shone all day, and then a rainbow greeted us as we arrived back in Vienna. #amwriting
