A memory popped up on my socials today of my son playing outside with autumn leaves.

I love his petal art bird and it was making nature art like this that was one of the inspirations for #TheWoodWhereMagicGrows

Beautifully illustrated by Ellie Snowdon

Sometimes tree faces can be hard to spot and other days the trees just appear like they want to say hi . So many trees at lovely Anglesey Abbey today.

If you’d like to meet my tree characters Groak, Turrety and Occy join the Treetoppers as they venture into ‘The Wood Where Magic Grows’

Blackberries and apples picked from Nana & Grandad’s garden.

Welcoming autumnal weather with a delicious crumble & custard .

Mmmmmmmm

So excited today to read The Boy Who Grew Dragons - A Christmas Delivery to my friend’s two little girls who were such a big inspiration for Tomas’ little sister Lolli.

Pure Magic!

They adored & pored over the glorious illustrations by Sarah Warburton

Preorder yours today!

😍

Meet Turrety!

I’ve known this horse chestnut tree my whole life & it's the inspiration for Turrety in #TheWoodWhereMagicGrows. A ‘one tree adventure playground’ for the Treetoppers.

Horse chestnuts feel like they're just waiting to join in our games

Do you have a Turrety near you?
