Banned Books Week… so here’s LLAMA GLAMARAMA by me and Garry Parsons - banned in some places in the US because it *checks notes* “promotes a social justice agenda.”

It’s about a llama who likes dancing.

Ugh. Adam lording it over Stella with his “One final thing”. So entitled. Highly satisfying response from her! #TheArchers

#TheArchers re the harvest, David said,”Brian is family. I can’t go against his wishes.” How is Brian family to David?

‘There’s a seagull in the library’ sounds like the title of a children’s picture book rather than a sentence I’ve actually just had to say

Same goes for 'guilty pleasure'. Why is it guilty to find pleasure in a book or a song or a movie? Unless of course you're committing crimes at the same time.
