We've hit the ground running this morning. One copy of 'City Baby' sent out 1st class to someone who's flying out to Australia in a few days (don't want them to miss out on some great reading for the flight!). π

And a huge parcel of 'A Marvellous Party' sent to the venue for an Ian Elmslie talk. Bought and paid for. Not bad for a Tuesday. π

Treat yourself to a bit of Mere Singers. A song composed by Michael Betteridge using words from a poem that was created by way of a collaboration between myself and the singers during workshops. It's gorgeous. youtube.com/watch?v=N1wOZDisβ¦

Quietly chuffed that our packaging on all the books we send out is now 100% recyclable and plastic-free. Admittedly, it's taken a while to get there (we had old stock bought in which needed using) but we made it. #SmallStepsForward #ToABetterPlanet
