Things I did today instead of doomscrolling Guessed the number of buttons in a jar Found a venue for my book launch helped by a friend Ate a delicious panini with said friend Bought some candle sticks in the upcycle Ate condensed milk out of the tin with a spoon!

🧵What’s in your pockets? If you wonder if my books are for you, I will ask you that one question. I wrote the Tales of the Turning year series with adults in mind but knowing that children like myself who are a bit wild, quiet of heart and wander the hedges would love them too.

Karin Celestine’s books are delightful, please take a look!

Lupin and I went for a walk in the woods. Deep far off the tracks we came across a clump of snowdrops completely hidden from human eyes. I expect the mice enjoy them. Imbolc collection is coming soon

Did you know authors get about 12p when you take their book out of the library? I just got my PLR statement and this year Bert’s Garden was my most borrowed book, closely followed by The Lightbringers. Thank you so much to everyone who borrows my books from the library Thanks plr & well done Bert!

Arctic hare carries a talisman of a copper cast of the first snowdrop petal. They hope it will help waken the slumbering earth and return spring to us once again. . Imbolc collection is coming

One of the things I love is to sit outside on the bench with a cuppa. So does shrew.

Bert got his flower seed order from Ben and Flash at @higgledygarden.bsky.social today. (Thanks!) I told Bert we were hopefully moving soon so didn’t need seeds till we knew where we were going but he said that it would make the garden pretty for the new people and you can’t argue with that!
