I joined TikTok. I avoided it for years, thinking it was just a dance app for the kids. But it’s been six weeks since I started posting silly bookish videos and I’ve been so delighted and inspired by all the readers and writers over there.

1 new novel. I published Murder on Milverton Square, my debut full-length novel, and I have been blown away! I thought it would peak during release month, but more and more readers keep discovering the book and sales are strong going into its third month.

We spent around 40 minutes here, as stopped at the monument for a mini picnic with a view before walking back down the hill to the car. There was plenty of carparking on the small street just off the roundabout, right at the start of the uphill climb to the monument - you enter via a gate from the street. It is considered to be Wearside's most beloved landmark, even appearing on the badge of Sunderland Football Club.'

'Better known as the Penshaw Monument, this 70 foot high monument is a replica of the Temple of Hephaestus in Athens and can be seen for miles around.

We were surprised that there wasn't any information boards up at the monument, but I had read a little on the English Heritage website before our trip. Just a shame all the red construction tape is everywhere at the moment as does take away from the view of the monument! I'm 8 months pregnant and managed it fine, with a couple of stops to catch my breath.

It is only a short 10 minute walk up the hill, it is very steep but there are steps.

We visited on a cloudy friday and were surprised by how many people were out for a stroll around the monument.
