Part of the 26 Pairs of Eyes project was an overarching piece by Jacob Sam-La Rose and Toni Stuart, beautifully performed here -

This Week ...

The Leif Frond books got a surprise review this week on An Awfully Big Blog Adventure by Ann Turnbull, which pleased me no end.

And did I mention there are new kittens?  

I am besotted, with no wish for a cure!

They're Here!

The boys are here - I may never write another word!  (Mal's the grey tabby and Toby's the brown tabby.)

Wappit but Happy

Just back from Moniack Mhor - such a great week - the talent in the place would make you want to cheer!  But that's a hard thing to photograph, so here are some pretty clouds instead ...

This thing with clouds, see, I can stop it any time I like.  Really.  Any time at all.

Storm clouds over Dundee

I will be away next week at Moniack Mhor, tutoring Writing for Children and Young People with Melvin Burgess, and Anne Fine as our mid-week guest.  Can't wait!

Londoner for a little while

When you read this I will be in London!  Have I timed my visit perfectly to hit the heatwave?  Here's madly, truly, deeply hoping not.

I'm here for the 26 Pairs of Eyes in Performance on Saturday 4 July, and if you are within striking distance of the Foundling Museum it would be lovely to see you there.  If not, I'm posting about the project on The History Girls on Sunday 5 July, with online alternatives!

  
If I've not melted into a sighing puddle on some London street, I will be back in Scotland next week.
