Just noticed that since the tree outside our house has had branches removed, IT TOTALLY HAS AN OWL FACE! I can see it from our living room window and COULD NOT BE MORE DELIGHTED!! 😂😂
A tree that has two circles that look similar to eyes where branches have been removed. Around them, crevices in the bark seem to create the outline of an owl’s face!

My 2024 has been all about kids’ TV and developing new comedy, and I’ve absolutely loved it! Feeling grateful✨
Four images in a grid… 1. The Mixmups posing together again a background of trees and fields. An arch shaped banner above their heads reads ‘MIXMUPS.’ 2. Character Bella is brightly dressed in a yellow top with a purple star. Her blue hair is in bunches and she’s giving the thumbs up. Set against a bright orange background at Playtime Towers. 3, Colourful characters from the Blocks universe against a pale blue background. 4. Rafi and her two dads flying on magic loaves of bread! Their cat is along for the ride too. In the background there’s a yellow Manchester tram.

To anyone looking to break into screenwriting… I bet every writer working on a show can think back to when they started out and relate to this! Maybe they still feel the same between gigs too. So keep chasing more than a unicorn… it may be the year that Santa comes through for you ✨ #screenwriting
An image of a toddler on Santa’s lap. Santa’s speech bubble: What would you like for Christmas? Toddler: A unicorn! Then, same image. Santa: Be realistic. Toddler: A job in a writers room. Lastly, same image. Santa: What colour unicorn?

I co-wrote the Christmas episode of Mixmups, going out on Christmas Eve… ✨🎄🎄🎄

Phone conversation I just had:

Me: A light on the dashboard of my car has come on.
Nick: What does it look like?
Me: A little submarine.
Nick: *sighs*

Lovely to join Dom Cotter in the BBC Radio Gloucestershire studio, to chat comedy writing and Christmas specials.

I wrote the episode of gorgeous Mixmups going out on C5’s Milkshake tomorrow, 7.55am. The Mixmups mix up a baby adventure! ✨
Mixmups characters Giggle, Spin and Pockets peeping out from the right side of the picture. On the left, their colourful helter skelter home and the Mixmups logo, in which a wooden spoon is used for the letter ‘I’.
