Big Garden Birdwatch is fun, free and for everyone. And you don’t need a garden to take part! Counting birds from your balcony, or your local park will play a vital role in helping us understand how UK birds are doing. Sign up for your free guide and let's look out for birds together on 27-29 January.

Today I had such a fantastic couple of hours “chewing the fat” (as they say) with Will Hamilton-Davies a children’s author from Bristol. We compared experiences, challenges we’ve faced and generally looked to be positive and proactive, looking at ways to help each other in this new and exciting world of children’s publishing. It was such a positive experience and Will is such a lovely chap.

We just wanted to give a big shout out to Pete Tyias and Jonathan Ogborne from Fly Culture Magazine. As you will all know we are putting the finishing touches on our NEW BOOK and these chaps have offered some great advice. Thank you.

We love receiving emails like this! Today we had an email from Marisa Molin to say her book had arrived, reaching the shores of Norway, and as she opened the parcel, she looked out the window, only to see a lovely deer nibbling her tree! There really are deer around here!

We love seeing our customers enjoying the book. Thanks to MP for Stroud, Siobhan Baillie for sending us this fab picture. Enjoy!

A little thank you to our treasured community of book-lovers and welly-wearing adventurers. Keep exploring!
