A few snaps from today's story-inspired adventures in Oxford. First stop Lyra and Will's bench in the Botanical Gardens, then on to The Story Museum where we stepped through the wardrobe to Narnia, played pooh sticks in Hundred Acre Wood and met a flight of dragons.

One day I'd love to see the cherry blossoms in Japan, but in the meantime there's something much springtime beauty on my doorstep ❤️

A walk in the woods = visit to my happy place. So good to get outside and seek out the first signs of spring.

Does anyone else find rainy days inspirational for writing? There's something about the sound of raindrops on the windowpanes, isn't there?
And I've got this beautiful new notebook ready for a new project.

🎉So excited for this amazing adventure - Mission Manta Ray by the brilliant Philip Kavvadias. If you or your kids haven’t yet read Mission Microraptor - no. 1 in the series - I highly recommend it. Treat yourself. You will have a blast & the January blues will be gone! 😂🎉

When it's cold and wet outside, the best thing you can do is snuggle up and relax. Happy Caturday!

There's something very pleasing about seeing cats sitting on the window ledge, keeping watch over the world.

Hello #Booksky! I'm on a quest to find a much-loved picture book from my childhood and hoping you can help!
I never had a copy of my own, but I used to get it out of the library all the time.

Leaning into the snow theme... What's your favourite children's book featuring the cold white stuff?
The Dark is Rising by Susan Cooper still has one of the most atmospheric openings of any book I've read. #kidlitUK
