We lived in a pub when I was growing up and when I was 3 (50 years ago!) we had someone in to draw the pub for a business card. I sat next to him and watched him draw every line. I was transfixed and it was a huge inspiration for me. I’ve dreamt about owning that drawing for years…

The next pandemic is highly likely to be airborne. We need clarity on whether the government is prepared.
Are medical supplies up to date? And what action is being taken on ventilation and air filtration to keep public spaces safe?

Note to everyone objecting to Aberdeenshire council reducing speed limit in towns/villages to 20mph.👇
“Helsinki hasn’t registered a single traffic-related fatality in the past year…Citing data that shows the risk of pedestrian fatality is cut in half by reducing a car’s speed from 40 to 30km/hr, city officials imposed the lower limit in most of Helsinki’s residential areas & city center in 2021.”
Helsinki just went a full year without a single traffic death
The capital city is Finnish’ed with car-related fatalities.

We are a new children’s bookshop which will open its doors in Edinburgh in 2026.
Much work is going on behind the scenes to make it happen, but in the meantime we are doing a pop-up to introduce ourselves to our lovely city and its community.

Not made any sales this weekend so far. Fingers crossed for tonight & tomorrow, but it's looking like a quiet Christmas.
I am sure I will see some UK buyers in December, but I'm usually very busy in November with US orders, they are not happening this year, despite art being exempt from tariffs😔

No.10 Downing Street is a building that sprawls backwards over four floors and has cranky heating, patchy phone signal and a basement with mice.
So for all its history, does the building itself undermine the work of the state?

Alice was a mentor, a friend and one of the people who I credit with helping me find my voice.
She gave me the strength to embrace my disabilities and use my skills as a writer to help others.
My life is forever changed because of her.
