As a Culture and Creativity category Finalist at the #studyukalumniawards it felt really special to be recognised on home ground – especially for someone like me who’s always falling between eligibility gaps and cracks. And yet, here we are – a foot in door! Yay! (now watch me kick it open!)

Prob the last drawing of 2024… Whether you’ll be out partying tomorrow night or in bed by 9.30pm (9pm more likely for me!), hope it’s all good and that the new year will bring all lovely things. I’ll have a new book out in June - The Fig Tree - so lots of exciting things ahead! 😘#woodyonthesofaagain
