Over the last seven years, I have enjoyed spending quality time with my grandchildren.

The day was initially with my grandson Alexander, but now that he is at school, it is with his little sister Isabelle.

Our day each week is a regular Thursday. (My Woo Hoo! Day)

It was once more my chance to lead the creative writing group.

But what should I do? (Calligrams)

If you’ve ever travelled with young children, you’ll know that a familiar song can turn even a short journey into something special. The Wheels on the Bus has always been a favourite in our family—simple, repetitive, and endlessly adaptable (which is exactly why children love it!).

In 2018, I was invited to visit a school in Kennington, Dartford, as an author.

My story books are on sale at ‘The Bookshop’ in East Grinstead, it’s always good to come along to sell signed copies and talk about the background and connections to my writing.

My books were ready, and off we headed to Brooklands Museum in Woking, Surrey.
