Hello all! I prepared my September blog before I went on holiday, but because of what happened to me, I am putting up something else! Watch out!

Hello all!This month I am putting up my blog a bit early, as I am off to chase my holiday dreams in the Auvergne. Which of us does not chase dreams?  Perhaps we need to do this to help us realize our dreams, but perhaps we need to keep at least one foot on theContinue reading “Chasing Dreams”

When you’re in the country, in the grass or in a wood, I may be there, waiting ,to catch my lunch – oh that I could! If your arms or legs are bare or you’re walking in a dress, my task will be so easy, – just a doddle, more or less! For I’m a lovely jumper, andContinue reading “WHO AM I?”

Hello all! I am still thinking about the sea. I’ve no idea when Riddles from the Sea, my next book, will be coming out, but I hope it won’t be too long.

Hello everyone! How are you?  For me, the month has rushed by. I have done a couple of virtual visits to schools. Not the same as a visit in person, and without the buzz of direct interaction, but the children seemed to like it!  I have some more visits planned after the School holidays. IContinue reading “April Update: School visits and new book and La Fontaine!”

Hello everyone! I’m so glad that so many of you are using the worksheet activities linked to my books. They are all available on this site and I should be adding more in the near future. If you have any feedback, please let me know via the contact form or via email. We have had aContinue reading “A Winter Story from the Auvergne”

Hello everyone, It has been a bit too wet in many places, and my heart goes out to those who have flooding and the cold to deal with, as well as COVID. I am sure you know this story, and it does have a happy ending. I hope you like my version (which has beenContinue reading “Noah’s Ark…”
