This was great fun to do, and worth listening to just for Charlie Higson’s excellent Eeyore voice.
This whole series was a joy, but Eeyore really does have all the best lines...

I did a podcast. It’s called @islandofbrilliant.bsky.social. It’s all about children’s books. It’s hosted by @frankcottrellboyce.bsky.social and @nadiashireen.bsky.social. I do say nice things about @davidashelton.bsky.social.
Been meaning to say: the latest @islandofbrilliant.bsky.social podcast is especially worth your time because the visitor to the island is marvellous @philtite.bsky.social (& I'm not saying this just because he and @nadiashireen.bsky.social say nice things about me).

Some years ago I decided to leave the real world and move permanently to Grimwood. I’m much happier here. We are currently voting for a new mayor.
