Disadvantaged children are growing up without books of their very own. Without books that they can love and cherish. And without a favourite bedtime story that they want to read again and again. Become a BookTrust Friend and help us reach more children with the magic of reading.

I love watching dragonflies. They’re beautiful, fierce predators that predate dinosaurs! I chose a dragonfly as my logo because — with longevity, ferocity and style — it’s a good talisman for business. And 14.5 years on, my dragonfly’s serving me well 😊

The little bears growl to each other, “He’s mine, As soon as he’s silly and steps on a line.” And they try to pretend that nobody cares Whether you walk on the lines or squares. But only the sillies believe their talk; It’s ever so portant how you walk. ~A.A.Milne #BeCareful

'The Harvest' by contemporary printmaker Helen Timbury #WomensArt

“If you are alone, then nature becomes Nature, a person, someone to whom you can almost talk. You do not only walk through measured miles; you sit, dreaming, contemplating, absorbing it all, through unmeasured minutes.” ~C.R.Milne #sycamoregaptree #sycamore

Beyond excited to have this beauty drop on my doorstep. It’s the printed copy of a book I edited and proofread. I loved being part of this author’s journey! Get in touch if you’d like me to be part of your #SelfPublishing journey too. #FreelanceEditor #FreelanceProofreader

As an avid reader since childhood, I love to share the magic of books… ✨📚✨ Every #GivingTuesday I give the gift of reading to children via BookTrust 👧🏻🎄👦🏾 I hope this puts smiles on a few faces and encourages a few future writers… #LoveReading #CharityTuesday

Fantastic to see this. Was a pleasure to help them craft their award entry.

#AmWatching #MrBatesVsThePostOffice and struggling to keep my eyes dry. It’s breaking my heart to learn how many lives have been ruined. Compelling yet sickening viewing. @tobyjonesactor is a brilliant choice.

Lovely to see this shared last week. I had such fun writing it and it’s the foundation for a longer children’s book…

15 years ago I organised the UK’s first Taste and Tweet — a live wine tasting event on ye olde Twitter. My tasting reactions are popping up on Facebook memories. Not sure I liked this red: “I smell hardwear shop/key cutters/shoe fixers”… #SocialMediaMarketing #Chichester

Am listening now and it’s awesome. Entertaining, informative and plenty of LOL moments. Check it out, the birds did…

Not been on here in a while, been doing some nature writing. Here’s a female banded demoiselle, distant cousin of my dragonfly logo. Photo taken at Bushy Park. Glorious place to get close to nature. #bandeddemoiselle #wildlifephotography #naturewriting #chichestercopywriter
