I suppose Irish folk-rock technically doesn't count but I can't not mention Swaddling Songs by Mellow Candle.

I loved being part of the co-production group for #ReadingWell for families, a new booklist to support parents and carers with mental health during pregnancy and the early years. It's free and it's available from your local library or online at readingagency.org.uk/readingwell. 📚

I'd like to thank Mr Toseland Toebeans for bringing a live vole into the house this afternoon. He's not even five months old yet. (Tolly, not the vole. I don't know how old the vole was. I didn't ask him.)

Meet Toseland. Tolly for short. (Shoutout to any other Green Knowe fans out there.) He’s 11 weeks old and he’s the most confident, chilled out, happy little kitten I’ve ever encountered. He’s just permanently delighted. He’s mending our hearts hour by hour.
