Not so much a career path as a series of mistakes I failed to learn from and thus was doomed to repeat. Still, I can laugh about it now, which I probably shouldn't as I'm pretty sure I've tried that before.

Share a smile 🙂

Screenshot of the slightly sinister Dad from the 1980s British Pork TV commercial as he smiles after saying, "we've all got plenty" while carving a roast pork joint and definitely not a human leg for Sunday dinner with friends and family. The colour palette is a stunning blend of nicotine yellows and swamp green, which was the fashion at the time.

I'm giving away two signed copies of my (recently republished) book 21st-Century Yokel, with two postcards of this fab otters linocut by my mum, Jo.
