They say that No News Is Good News – What if Fake News has the same effect?
As we have come to expect from Marika, this is a sharply written, richly observant, funny and very moving story.

Pooh woke up suddenly in the middle of the night and listened. He heard the noise again.
“Is that you, Piglet?” he said. But it wasn’t.
“Come in, Christopher Robin,” he said. But the noise went on.
“Worraworraworraworraworra,” said Whatever-it-was. ~A.A.Milne #clocksbacktonight

Today we remember PC Nina Mackay who was murdered on this day 29 yrs ago in 1997 by a deranged knifeman. We were honoured to place our memorial to her service & sacrifice in 1998 in Arthingworth St, London @metpoliceuk @MPFed #HonouringThoseWhoServe #PoliceMemorials #PoliceFamily

The lovely @samblakebooks and I stirred up a storm at Carrickfergus Library today, on @LibrariesNI final panel of #bookweekni on Agatha Christie, hosted by the wonderful @kerry_mclean ❤️ Huge thanks to all who braved #StormBoelo to share your love for the queen of crime 👑🕵️♀️🔎

We love seeing our authors receiving their books! This is Katri Sallinen, opening her recently published book 'Nala'! Nala is just a cleaner, following all the rules. She gets her regular contraceptive injections, so getting pregnant should be impossible. But then it happens.

Wondered why the bird food in the feeder hadn’t been going down much over the last few days…
Then I noticed the sparrowhawk was back, keeping an eye on proceedings.

Milo would like everyone to know that he was a very brave boy at the vets, even when they put him to sleep and STOLE (his word) some of his teeth. 🐶

The BBC is set to scrap Radio 4 Extra. 📻 Losing this treasure trove of classic comedy, archive drama, and timeless storytelling would be a massive blow for millions of us.

4 months ago we found this tiny dog…
🗑️ Tied up eating the bins
🪱 Heart worms making him weak and close to death
🎤 All his fur gone apart from his Rod Stewart hairstyle which is why he got his name.
The medicines and a safe place helped but I think what made the biggest difference to Rod was the love he felt for the first time ever.
He leaves for his forever home in Ballina, Ireland 🇮🇪 very soon ❤️
