Goodbye my BLOG

Time has come to say Goodbye to this Blog.
Thank you for all your following and support and interest over the years.
It has been an amazing platform to feel connected.
I find I'm just not using it anymore....Pesky Instagram and iphone have taken over.

Glasto, revisited 21 years on!

I'm catching up on some of this years antics...
Glastonbury was Muddy, it was Massive and it was lots of FUN.
It is so Big, and now so much Electricity, but it still has a spirit of subversion, love and creative partying in lots of places.
Somehow I didn't manage to see a band in it's entirety. (hmm.....!)

Nowt stranger than folk

There Was an Old Woman

My latest book (that I forgot to blog about)
Out in the US with the wonderful Holiday House Children's Books.

Naples and Ischia

I went to Italy. It went too quickly.
Naples was exciting and buzzing. Then a ferry ride to...
Ischia, a gentle, thermal water, green paradise. (We stayed at the Hotel Villa Rosa for it's 50's charm)
My favourite spot was Giadini la Mortella.
Created by Susana Walton, whose husband was the composer William Walton.
The stage set art is by Luzzati.

Spring garden

Every day there is something new to wonder at at.
It brings me such joy!
I've been at my home for almost 2 years and I finally got round to sorting the garden.
I gave away the kids play house in the corner of the garden and that spot is now a small patio which catches the last bit of early evening sun. Perfect wine drinking spot!
The patio and path were built from what ever slabs and stones were already in the garden.
The chap who built the path, beds etc also made me a shed...it has a reclaimed door and stained glass windows and I love it!
I've re-sown the lawn and started to fill the beds with cottage garden style plants. I'm training plants up and around the kids trampoline. I've added raspberries, rhubarb and other edibles around the place. And as my house is called Roseland, it only seems fitting to add roses, which will hopefully climb over the walls and their scent and beauty will spill over into the little lane I live on.
I've grown all my veg from seed and can't wait to have a constant flow of fresh salad and veg.
The succulents in the pot has a collection of found pottery pieces collected from the Thames in London and dug up from various gardens I have had.

Whoop!

I am so Happy with my advance copies of 'Say Hello' and Kiss Goodnight'
The production is top quality! They have lovely squiggly covers and beautiful matt inside spreads, which capture my hand printed background perfectly. Fantastic design by Genevieve Webster. Let's hope they do well!
Out in the shops in July. Published by Templar publishing.
