I hope you have a Hoppy New Year and thank you to everyone for your continued support and wonderfully engaging messages...

My new book is at the printers and it's very exciting. I have written and illustrated 12 short stories (about 4 minutes long),

So many lessons learnt here: 1. Don't assume everything is forever, 2. Persistence prevails, 3. 'Ask and it's Given', positive thought works

As we sit in mid-November the heavy grey clouds of summer are just a dark memory as I start reflecting on what was learnt this year

The world beyond the garden fence has been even more insane than last year and some aspects have impacted how I went about my business

Having studied my garden all year it is now time to create colour boards for this winter's draft excluders

Drafties have enough length that they cover the width of the door and some, or can be bent up a little at each end
