A lovely sleeping fox from a couple of years ago.
Surrounded by my favourite seeds heads - Honesty.
I love them more than the actual flowers. I think it's the same with poppies too.

Have a wonderful day whatever you are up to. And a restful sleep like this wee fox.

This Saturday in my old bookseller haunt 👻 so excited to be back, and eat a Gregg’s veggie sausage roll outside on the lawn for lunch with the gang. Just like old times. 🙌🙌 oh, and also to sign some books - come on down!

Our little book shop is 3 years old this month. People thought I was crazy opening in the middle of a pandemic, (many still do) but what I found was a community and a family. It hasn’t been easy (still isn’t) but I’m blessed and grateful.

It's Launch Day for my new book I AM WOLF! 🥳🐺

Lucky Frances Hardinge and I got a private tour of Hauteville, the house which Victor Hugo designed and lived in while in exile in Guernsey. Loved seeing the hidden storage places and the fold-down desks on which he wrote works such as Les Mis. House as autobiography.
