The boy they called an 'author' (very posh) had a lovely day out at Baird Memorial Primary School in Cumbernauld. Met Tom, Princess Georgia, the Dead Princess and many more during Creating Characters day. Thank you for having me.

After my wife - 3 ladies that rock my world - Prof. Alice Roberts @profaliceroberts.bsky.social Prof. Hannah Fry & Anna Lapwood. They will all be invited round for tea & scones & a wee chat. What's the odds they'll be either busy or washing their hair...
