This is the one we listened to endlessly when we were doing the show. A little bit of Ruddigore with typewriters thrown in for good measure...

Just finished @drmjwarren.bsky.social's The Cuckoo's Lea and I absolutely LOVED it. In fact it's one of my favourite reads so far this year.

#Nature, #History, #birds, #language #landscape and more... woven together seamlessly, and so beautifully. Fascinating! I can't recommend it highly enough

No worries. But don't buy from bookshop.org yet as they seem to be selling it at £20, when it should be £12.99! I'm trying to sort it!

Highly recommend this beautiful book. @nicwilson.bsky.social writes like an angel: a lost little girl, snickets, John Clare, memory, thunderstones, unpredictable illness, deep falling dives into bogs, wild clematis & so much more.. you can read my review @waterstones.bsky.social & order! #booksky

If only the Octonauts were real and could save us (and the small matter of the world's marine flora and fauna) from ourselves...

Imagine that great scene in Thoroughly Modern Millie and how fab it would be to be good enough to do the tap dance in it...

Thank you to everyone who has liked and reposted this week's Waterstones offer on pre-orders of the paperback of Land Beneath the Waves. I really appreciate it. It's made a totally shattered (what is it with October?) writer happy! 😊💚

We should do a joint talk on Octonauts in our books. I feel the world needs more focus on marine biology superheroes...
