Last night we went out to buy a Christmas tree 4 tram stops up from our house 🎄🚊 ⁣ ⁣ On the way we discovered a dinky little local bar. The wine is extremely good & on tap. The only snack are these toasties which are 👌. In the back room a banjo, guitar & kazoo blasted out Nancy Sinatra & everyone sang along to 'These Boots...' in Czech. A left wing pamphleteer wearing a cowboy hat came in & said 'this is against Trump & Johnson & the rest.' ⁣ ⁣ As he left a bearded customer told us. 'We don't see foreigners here. This is very local & we're all neighbours. You're welcome here.' 🇪🇺💔⁣ ⁣ Reader, we did not buy our Christmas tree.⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣

Well...as if 2019 & #Lowborn didn't give me more than I could have ever have imagined in all the ways. 💪On the 2019 Most Revealing Memoirs of 2019 in The Metro 💪A Guardian Book of the Year: Memoir & Biography 💪 One of Stylist Magazines Books of the Decade Written by Remarkable Women 💪 A Spectator (I'm as surprised as you all are) Book of the Year chosen by lovely Jenni Colgan. Feel extraordinarily grateful & lucky 🙏🙏

This here is Kasára Karlin. A old derelict swimming pool converted into a community arts centre. There's a cafe where the changing rooms were, a cinema/gig space where the old pool was. A break dancing school. Loads of few public space & public art. * Today the sunshine is pale & golden & the streets are very quiet. A few leaves are still clinging to the trees & the winter light brings out the ice cream colour of the old buildings. We'll spend the day on trams running new city errands (transport passes, a weekly shop and, glamorously, a new litter tray for Dora) but I'd forgotten how new cities make everything an adventure & you never know what you'll discover...🧡

The view from our Prague loft apartment skylight. We're waiting in for our boxes (& delayed suitcase). Watching TV & napping & eating open sandwiches & pastries from our local bakery & playing catch with Dora & 💛🧡 #nofilter #fucktonnesofgratitude

A perfect final fling in South London. Bonnie & Clyde cocktails at Tequila Mockingbird (we have *earned* them & ramen at Koi. 🍜🍜🍜🍜🍜🍜🍜🍜🍜 Retracing our steps through our favourite London spots. The taxi arrives to take us & Dora to the airport at 4.45am. London, we love you and we'll miss you but tonight I paid £7 for a very normal pint in an extremely bland pub & it's not us, it's you. Bye, girl, bye. 👋👋👋👋

#Tourlife in a hotel somewhere in Stirling. 3 more gigs until the end of the #Lowborn promo until paperback in May. I've met so many nice, fascinating folk, hugged & laughed & cried, had 798 terrible photos taken of me mouth open and/or double chinned, had many many M&S hotel picnics & drank approx. 1463 cans of G&T on Virgin Trains. I'm grateful for each and every event & reader. And now I'm ready for Prague with Dora & Peter & complete peace to walk new city streets with no direction in mind & think about everything this year has been.
