Bibs had to go to the vets yesterday because he was limping. He had soft tissue damage in his shoulder and is on anti-inflammatories and painkillers. His life has not changed much - thank goodness for cats. Xx

Uhoh. Jeff's throwing a tantrum. He wants better discounts from them.

You can still get Bloomsbury books from Bert's, though.

That’s so kind - thank you! I wish it was my art but it’s the work of Irina Avgustinovich, a very talented illustrator from Belarus

Hi Chris. I’m from Norwich (although I no longer live there) and a children’s author too. My book, Call Me Lion centres around a boy with Selective Mutism. Small world eh?! Nice to meet you.
