Hello,<\/p>\n

What lovely weather it’s been over the past couple of weeks \u2013 well, certainly at home in Gloucestershire and here in London.\u00a0I can’t believe that in my last blog I was showing you pictures of the snow we had during our week away in Yorkshire, and yet now spring really is here and the garden is absolutely blooming. You’ve probably already seen these incredible tulips on air if you watch the gardening shows on QVC, but I just had to show them to you; I have never seen tulips quite like them. They are the Gudoshnik double tulips from Plants2Gardens<\/a>, and they are the biggest and most spectacular I’ve ever seen. Just amazing!<\/p>\n\n

Unfortunately, one of our resident squirrels has also taken a fancy to them and keeps biting their heads off! In despair, I’ve now bought him his own little squirrel caf\u00e9 in the form of a feeding station attached to one of the trees in the garden, in an attempt to stop him tasting the flowers. He dug up so many bulbs over the autumn and winter I’m amazed we actually have any spring flowers at all, but the squirrels are so entertaining to watch in the garden \u2013 I do love them really and I don’t want to hurt them or drive them away so hopefully the little squirrel caf\u00e9 will work! I’ll try and get some pictures for my next blog.<\/p>\n\n

I don’t really have much else to tell you this week – I haven’t been doing much except working, writing, gardening and running! My next book, The Murder List, is coming out next month (it was due to come out on 3rd June but the date has now been changed to 31st May, so a few days earlier) but I’m now working on my 2023 book with a December deadline.\u00a0And running-wise, I’m\u00a0currently in training for another ultramarathon event which is happening in June.\u00a0It’s the biggest one I’ve ever attempted and I’m a little bit nervous (why do I put myself through these things? I must be mad!), but so far training is going well (I hope I’m not tempting fate by saying that \u2013 fingers crossed!). I’m just trying very hard not to get injured \u2013 watch this space, I’ll tell you more about it in May.<\/p>\n\n

I hope you’re enjoying the spring \u2013 I always love to hear from you so do get in touch, either by leaving a comment under this blog or by following me on social media. On Twitter I’m @jackiekabler and on Instagram I’m @officialjackiekabler.<\/p>\n

See you soon!<\/p>\n
