Big thanks to @readingrocks.bsky.social for inviting @lorettaschauer.bsky.social, Iggy and me to virtual visit lots of lovely classrooms for some yeti-tastic fun today! And thank you to all the classes who came along! #ukkidlit #kidlituk #authorlife
New emerging stalk of blooms should be flowering in time for my Birthday on Wednesday.
Well, we've flirted with it before, as have many indie retailers, but today, the day came. We have had our first ZERO day. That's right. We sold nothing. Scaffolding makes a difference - we ARE open and we also sell online. #kidlituk
Amaryllis time again! Started this one off quite late, but it should still be flowering for my birthday. (Hippeastrum 'Apple Blossom')
Back to recording videos with my yeti crew today! The yetis are officially taking over my home now! But they are the true stars of all my events so I don’t mind! Getting ready for an awesome @readingrocks.bsky.social event with @lorettaschauer.bsky.social on 29th January! #ukkidlit #kidlituk
Will Iggy and his friends find the mysterious humans they are searching for? Find out in 'Yetis Don't Exist' by me and @katethompson.bsky.social
