Illustrator trying to stay awake in the afternoons.
Feeling extremely chuffed this dark morning...Why? Because I looked out the window and saw a HUGE moon with Jupiter alongside, shining brightly.

Yes!
Fox hunting is a revolting sport. It's only survived in any form because it's done by ghastly, entitled, influential and aristocratic people who feel it's the God given right to charge about the place in silly costumes tearing animals apart for no good reason.

When’s the last time you saw a hedgehog? 🦔 Their numbers are falling, so I just signed a petition to make hedgehog highways - tiny gaps in fences to help them - mandatory in ALL new builds. Add your name: 38d.gs/72vc?utm_cam...

Decided to make it five signed books, not three, I'm giving away to people who share this.

Because my thieving ex-publishers can fuck off.

Because I believe this book is good enough to be read and enjoyed for many years.

Because it's the only pension I'll have.

And because why fucking not.
I've removed the paywall permanently from this piece, which is a chapter from my novel Villager, told entirely in the form of an online village message board. If you like it, you'll probably like the book. If you don't, you won't...

The Village Message Board
Its authenticity was discredited because of his reputation, but also because he was quick with gin at the time and wearing an item of knitwear back to front.

GB News’ recent Trump interview was outrageous - completely biased and full of lies. And GB News didn't challenge him ONCE. Ofcom MUST investigate them for breaching its rules. Sign now if you agree. 38d.gs/tbfw

We need to rewild 30% of the planet to restore nature & protect our wildlife, but Britain is falling behind. So I've signed this new petition calling on one of our biggest landowners - the Church of England - to rewild its land. Join me? you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/pr...
Help save nature by rewilding the Church’s massive landholdings!
