Publisher got me coffeed up then took me to visit @oscarandfriendsbooksellers and @pottspointbookshop . Ended up doing gymnastics... and signing lots of books!

Back doing what I love - telling stories to kids! Then vandalising my own publicity picture.

Big congratulations to all the athletes who competed in the Girls’ Potato Race at the Robertson Show! Friday Barnes and I are so proud to sponsor the event.

Nanny Piggins wants you to come to her birthday party @thechildrensbookshop on March 23rd at 4pm

Ten years ago I did my first signing of my first book in my friend’s kitchen. Today we re-enacted the photo. #happybirthdaynannyp

Aldi’s is selling a portable camping ironing board. Who irons when they’re camping?

Something ate my seedlings. I found the culprit making its getaway by pretending to be bird poo.

Enjoying brief inter-book window by going bagel baking crazy. Behold apricot & cinnamon, blueberry & banana and sesame!
