How's about doing the Time Warp whilst you wait? After all, it's just a jump to the left...

HAPPY TIMBO DAY! Why not donate to the charity that the late, great #TimBrookeTaylor was the President of for decades, on what would have been his birthday today. We all miss him so. More new literary adventures for #TheGoodies coming soon, in his memory.

Stellar work by all at @ChinbeardBooks on @sophie_aldred's "Ace Jacket" book.
So many great contributors and contributions from the worlds of #DoctorWho.
Ably co-edited by the splendid @BarnabyEJ and designed (plus great art) by @birdbonesbook.
Highly recommended!
