Madeleine Waller photographed me for her portrait project.

This is one of the cafés where I go to write and draw. - Go look at her work!

Strong Pyjamas

Look at this lovely project @anslibrary tweeted...

based on "Timothy and the Strong Pyjamas", my first picture book from years ago.

So nice to see it's still being read and enjoyed!

ANXIETY: Reasons To Live

This happened to me last week or so. They haven't been back.

EDIT: As people have been asking: the birds are not a metaphor for anything. Sometimes people come to your door to talk about God and leave some leaflets. Yes I know you know. That's who the birds are. Not a metaphor. It's only that in reality they are humans, not storks. Similarly I am not actually a cat. Hope that cleared this storyline up. :)
