March 2026:

Another month coming to an end (hopefully one month nearer to spring 🤞🏻 because I am not enjoying this colder weather anymore) and here we are with another monthly round up.

March started off primarily work based. Mum and I were carrying out the last edits and finalising the book. I am happy (and relieved) to announce that book four has been submitted, approved and is ready to be printed and delivered! And the announcements don’t stop there, I have created and released a book trailer for book four (which you can find on my TikTok or Facebook page) so please go and check it out; and book four will be available to pre-order from 24th April 2026!! So mark that date in your calendars! I’m so excited and I’m already counting down until my new book is finally available for you to read and enjoy (7th July incase you were wondering when that would be!) Looking back at when I first started creating book four, it blows my mind that I have been able to create an entire book in six months – I never thought I would be able to do something like that! Thank you to everyone who has supported me throughout all four of my books… and yes, book five will be in the works shortly 👀 but as for the rest of March I have been mainly focusing on creating content ideas for marketing as we should all know by now that it’s the one area I am awful at trying to keep up with. Not this year though, so far I have created five different ideas and have plenty more to work on so keep your eyes peeled for them popping up across my social media!

March has been more of a socialising month for me (definitely something you rarely hear from someone who dreams for the life of a hermit crab). But I have enjoyed an evening outing with friends, which helped proved that my darts skills of throw the dart and hope for the best seem to be working when I scored a bulls-eye. And yes I have provided the evidence for those who don’t believe me, and no I most certainly could not do it again if I tried. And I got to enjoy not one but two nights out of the long awaited return to see The Drifters… in a row might I add! Our first evening out was seeing them in Hertford, which included the three hour drive there and the three hour drive back all in one night (which I don’t recommend for anyone considering it) and the following night we saw them in our local theatre. I know I don’t need to say it (because I have said it more than once) but they were two amazing nights and well worth the price of the ticket in my opinion (and compared to other artists you could go and see, these tickets are definitely more affordable – which is great for me seeing as I am paying for quite a few of them). So if you fancy a night dancing the night away to some R&B classics that you all know and love (no matter how old you, I bet you know at least one song) then head to the website and grab yourself some tickets! Our third and final evening out was down on the beach (a Drifters song for you to start you off) to see How Sweet It Is – The Greatest Hits of Motown. Mum and I had already seen this, so we decided to take my Aunt so she could experience it. Now it may come as a surprise to you when I say that my music knowledge for this one wasn’t as strong, however this doesn’t mean I wasn’t dancing the night away and I still loved it! So you know what to do, head to the website and grab yourself a ticket!!

I’m going to add in a little food section here because with all our socialising events came many dinners out and everyone loves a slideshow of food. If you take one thing away from this, it’s that the Jaffa Cake cheesecake was divine and I am already planning to go back and have it again. Oh, and don’t even get me started on that Raspberry cake from Tesco Cafe… I’m still thinking about it!

And finally to round off my March, it wouldn’t be one of my blog posts without a slideshow of Bertie, featuring a few little snippets of Archie, enjoy!

Comments Conversation: With Spring hopefully in the air soon, what do you look forward to the most about Spring? I would be lying if I didn’t mention that I have been eyeing up the Mini Eggs Easter egg that has been placed on top of the fridge, I’m definitely looking forward to demolishing that. But I will say all the spring time flowers have been putting me in such a good mood. I am currently on my third bunch of daffodils and I love watching them bloom (which is surprisingly quickly) and being greeted to a burst of floral yellow every morning!

Until next time!

See you soon!

TTFN – Love Hannah ❤️
