Looking forward to your talk on Wednesday!

Definitely come say hi at the Pathways exhibition if you have time :) We all love your work!

I was hoping I might have gotten some iron before trekking down to London, but nope.

Thank goodness for my wheelchair and power assist, or I would be pretty much stuck in the house.

I cannot tolerate oral iron. She told them this and got back “oh but can’t she just try these capsules?” 🤦🏼‍♀️

Why did they think I was attempting to take the lowest dose liquid?! Just for fun? Trust me, if I could simply take a tablet or capsule and start feeling better, I would!

It’s a great opportunity to support disabled, neurodivergent and global majority illustrators :)

London Book Fair is a HUGE international stage that brings all things books together under one roof, from publishing stands, to workshops and agent meets - it all happens under one roof.

To be given this opportunity is
incredible… but, to make it happen we have one final push.

Toothpaste is a particular pain because (at least here in the UK) it’s not classed the same as food, so the colourings are “cosmetic”. My partner’s toothpaste has the same blue they use to paint trains!

I haven’t eaten M&Ms in about 25 years because I’m allergic to artificial colourings (weird allergy, I know).

Other sweets are now safe (they’ve switched to more natural colours here), but not M&Ms or Skittles.

The most frustrating coloured things are toothpaste and medicine.

I am now “opted out” of this new policy - but I have to contact the shop again to actually get my parcel.

If you’re disabled/can’t easily get to your local parcel shop, I’d recommend “opting out” of this happening to you.

After ‘attempting’ delivery (incorrectly) the driver took my parcel to a local newsagent.

I am a wheelchair user and can’t get to said newsagent. Apparently this is not their problem. Sigh.
