A very sad loss. Allan wrote some of the best books about cats that have ever been written and I suspect most of my UK followers have enjoyed at least one of his works

I remember one of the Ahlberg's saying "we decided to put as much work into a picture book as Tolstoy put into War and Peace". And they did. And the world was better for it.

Distinctly feels like #backtoschool today....#autumnal bite to the air, still dark when I left the house, back to work after #summer break, kids eager to see friends again

Calling all headteachers to sign this open letter to the DfE calling for a statutory ban of smartphones in schools. The current guidance isn't enough-a ban is the only way we ensure every child has the freedom and protection of a smartphone-free school day bit.ly/4mJArkZ

Think the common cold spreads fast? Measles is nearly twice as contagious, and far more serious. ⚠️ Unlike a common cold, simple hygiene measures aren’t enough to slow it’s spread. The MMR vaccine is your best protection. ❤️ 🔗 nhs.uk/vaccinations/m…
