In the UK, caged hens have little more space than an A4 sheet of paper - the same size as this drawing.
A big thank you to @chrisgpackham.bsky.social for supporting our #DrawTheLine campaign. His drawing will be part of an art installation next year, calling on the UK Government to #EndTheCageAge.

A huge diolch to the Women's Institute at Bala in Gwynedd for hosting a second book launch & book signing in November for my debut novel. One of the subplots in the story is how the WI started in Cymru during WW1, supporting our brave women defenders on the home front.🙏 #booksky #writers #authors 🩵📚

We urged Cranswick to act swiftly to conduct a thorough investigation, so this news is welcome. They must implement robust corrective measures without delay, including the establishment of clear protocols, effective systems and rigorous staff training.

A big 🙏 to Kate Adie for her phone call and encouragement. Her book 'Fighting on the Home Front' was inspirational to me during my research. It's important to me that what I write is historically accurate. Kate Adie's book, & other books on the Welsh experience, were invaluable for detail & context.

At last, after a challenging publishing process, Poppies is available to pre-order. Telling of the courage of women on the home front and returning veterans during world war one, it's close to my heart: my homage to our brave defenders in 1914-1919
