  1. @PaulineChandle1 Sadly, I am too!
  2. Hurrah for Edale! Bella Hardy's new CD is wonderful and so is Mark Wallington's new book. They're in the folk festival here this weekend!
  3. @CaoimheOneill Ah, how lovely of you I'm so glad you like Children of Winter so much.
  4. Hooray for publishers like Jane Nissen keeping children's classics in print. It was lovely to find Philippa Pearce's The Shadow Cage again.
  5. And today I heard a skylark singing in Edale. First time for years. My spirits rose with her.
  6. Bella, Adele, Charlotte, Ian, Pauline - thanks for your commiserations. Midnight has his own quiet corner of the garden now.
  7. Our beautiful black Midnight cat has died, and the house has lost its loveliness.
  8. Should a highly respected children's author get away with endlessly airing his own opinions? I don't think so,
  9. Thank you Oxford Spires Academy for generous welcome. Your students are wonderful, and your staff are truly inspiring.
  10. @adelegeras Terrific! I didn't know, so thanks for posting the news.
  11. My cat really stinks. Do I have to put my wellies on and get in the bath with him?
  12. I loved The London Eye Mystery. Kind of Scaredy Squirrel meets The Strange Incident of the Dog in the Night-time and gets away with it.
  13. I don't think a day passes without having a conversation with someone about books.
  14. MIchael Rosen and I have just judged the Big Cat story competition. The two wonderful winners will be announced soon - congratulations!
  15. Have just recorded most of my Walking On Air collection for The Poetry Archive. Feel immensely privileged to have been invited.
  16. Glorious morning. About to walk over the fields to have brekkie at Coopers Cafe and talk to Edale girl guides about writing plays.
  17. I want to recommend Pure by Andrew Miller - beautifully written, fascinating detail. I really enjoyed reading it.
  18. @RaggedSchool Thank you! And thanks for following me.
  19. Last flights for my ghost plane - Tidewsell Theatre, Thursday 29th; Lantern Theatre Sheffield, 30th - 31st. Then it vanishes into Thin Air.
  20. @bellahardy Hooray! Can't wait to hear it Bella!
