Witches are scary.
Vampires are a fright.
Beware of both this Hallowe’en night.

Alfred, Saga and I have had fun making pumpkins and a jack-o’-lantern out of Fimo clay. Hope you have a fa-booo-lous All Hallows’ Eve!

There are over 18,000 types of lichen in existence. My personal favourite is ‘village bench lichen’, which devotes its entire existence selflessly to gradually making communal public seating more furry and comfortable.

Last night, we celebrated the publication of The Changeling Child with a picnic (for two) by the river Rhine.
Reading in the water, swimming, watching the river flow and all the passing swimmers, ducks and dogs(!), while we toasted the book in Hugo spritz we’d brought in a thermos. It was PERFECT!
