Just one from the weekend to remind (me mainly) beauty grows wherever young & older hearts are able to flourish together @caldmorecgarden @PifPafTheatre
Y’day was a tad emotional. After 18 years of mothering, this one flew the nest. So grateful for the privilege of being her mum. Not always easy, sacrifices & all that but my God has it been worth it. Treasuring the memories & all that is to come…

Standing ovation for @redladder #We’reNotGoingBack definitely one of my all time top 10! Funny, heart wrenching & ultimately uplifting. Solidarity rules ✊ when women come together. Missed the best photo opp, too busy drying my eyes & stamping my feet. 🙌👏🤩✨
Wonderful Bluebird show today for families struggling with the Cost of Living crisis. Unsurprisingly one wish was for a bag of money from the land of Luxury, what would u wish for…?
Here’s a closeup of pine cone Mirtel for a clue to mine. #ceasefire_permanent
When you make a research trip to find bear claw marks from the Stone Age & find yourself in a rock troll cavern, you know you’re in the write job @MeganACarroll
Just sobbed my heart out at #TheListOfSuspiciousThings feel like you’ve written about me & my childhood bestie, Caroline. Absolutely deserving of all your success & some @jennieg_author - makes me realise how rare it is to read a bk that reflects elements of my background. Is it
Such a good feeling when you get a lovely sign off for a commission. Thanks @CliftonParkMus for asking me to write the words for Rotherham’s iconic, Marco the bear.
ALT This is not Marco the bear but a wolverine that once inhabited the lands around Rotherham when bears roamed here thousands of years ago. Marco is awaiting his appearance at the end of July.
Farewell Pipworth Primary. Thanks for hosting the @GrimmAndCo Everywhereium it’s been a blast dreaming up new stories with Year 4s. That’s a wrap for Barrowdale & Wobblestock’s investigation. Until the next adventure…
ALT Dream investigators: Barrowdale & Wobblestock smile at camera from inside the Everywhereium pointing at each other.
Wonderful road trip to Windsor to join fellow roarsome kidlit writers for top notch book launch of @PhilipKavvadias funny, action packed debut, Mission Microraptor. Can confirm 1st chapter had me lol 😂
I am now ready for Easter 🐣 although these won’t last till Sunday given how quickly they’re disappearing #EasterSimnelMuffins
Just to say baking isn’t one of my key skills so pretty pleased with the result:
Great way to celebrate #InternationalWomensDay by watching a WIP sharing of Batty by @msvhf @theLBT if today is anything to go by, this will be a belting/Beltane show
Ready for some dream detecting tomorrow with @GrimmAndCo Do hope we don’t collide with too many nightmares…
‘…drifting in, drifting down,
Lifting up without a sound’
ALT Two dream technicians, ready for some dream detecting.
For any in need of some light entertainment in the face of overwhelm, here’s a fun music video starring a cast of puppets/puppeteers from @KazbahTheatre with comic music duo, McShane & Shaw, directed by yours truly: m.youtube.com/watch?v=KpdAom…
Wonderful buzz @Guildhall_Arts today though am not sure where the bluebird might be hiding?
A little blackbird was hiding in my post box today, bringing much joy & adventure. Can’t wait to read the third book in the Legends of the Sky trilogy: #ThePiratesDragon by the wonder wordsmith @lizziebooks
Like all good things, they come to those who wait…
