Men have had every advantage of us in telling their own story. Education has been theirs in so much higher a degree; the pen has been in their hands.

I have a very sincere interest in Emma. There is an anxiety, a curiosity in what one feels for Emma.

April Sunday. My cat has been to the vets again, an annual disaster. The afternoon is quiet as she sleeps beside the fire. Her mind is sweet and peaceful as she dreams of neon fish.

Historic Wakefield. St. John's Church, 1791, stands in the Northgate area of the city. Built with stone from Newmillerdam, it was the centrepiece of the new Georgian neighbourhood. Surrounded by Georgian townhouses, it is now a listed building.

Early evening. In the garden, a blackbird sings his song to the sky. Over the terraces, the Calder, the fields; over the quiet allotments healed by rain; over the dusky woodlands where you speak my name like grief.

I love Channel 5 dramas. They're so bad they're good for my soul.

I have a sneaky feeling that most people who say they hate cats probably haven't taken the time to get to know one properly.

I certainly have not the talent which some people possess of conversing easily with those I have never seen before.

Historic Wakefield. The White Horse Inn, Old Sharlston, dates from the 1600s. One of four remaining coaching inns, it stands at the gateway to the city on the Pontefract road. Laurel & Hardy stayed here in 1953. A great place for Sunday lunch.

A contentious subject, but this was the first poem I learnt by heart. This print hung on the wall in my grandparents' house. I have mixed feelings about keeping it these days, but I was fascinated by its rhyme as a child.
