Mrs P spotted this coaster in a Penrith bookshop yesterday. I'm going to put it where I can see and use it every day. I'd virtually given up on the book until getting renewed inspiration last year. Finally happy (I think) with how I bring the two main characters together!

Actually quite like the interior design of these Paris RER EMU sets. Playful, fresh and comfortable and the "constellation" lighting is a particularly nice touch.
