I'm a sucker for beautiful books and the latest edition of The BFG is no exception. I want, nay, need, the full Roald Dahl collection (I only have The Twits at the mo - my fave) but this edition of The BFG definitely needs to be bought as a stand-alone copy. The dust jacket may… Continue reading Item of the day: The BFG from Waterstones

Fun, right? 1. I wrote about my miscarriage for Baby Loss Awareness Week 2. I went to The… Continue reading My life in photos: October 2015

The wonderful National Stationery Week continues with Pen a Tweet Day. I'm of the mind that if you can't do something well, you shouldn't do it at all, so, as someone who loves to write by hand but has terrible handwriting, I was reluctant to actually pen a tweet. I do, however, want to enroll… Continue reading National Stationery Week: Pen a Tweet Day
