I rarely post personal stuff but I really need some help please. Yesterday afternoon, we came home as masked burglars were leaving our home. They stole lots of things of huge sentimental value; jewellery that belonged to parents & grandparents, my late Dad’s watch, papers… /2

With huge thanks to Rebecca Struthers we are running a very special competition to win this beautiful hand-gilded edition of Hands of Time. This stunning edition also has illustrations hand-drawn by Craig Struthers, and is #signed

Okay, so I’ve been finding it really hard to motivate myself on Twitter recently. Apologies to anyone I’ve not responded to. I’ve been working with some amazing people on a book project recently which is too lovely not to share so apologies in advance for all the book posts! ❤️

Really looking forward to this! 👇🌍
