🥳We're jolly well elated to announce BADGERS ARE GO!

🧀🍅A hilarious, heartfelt story about badgers, cheese-and-tomato sandwiches, and how 'too much welly' might be the perfect amount.

✨Written by Susannah Lloyd, illustrated by Nici Gregory, out in September!

I met two lovely girls this week, both in their 20s, both waiting for their boyfriends to propose 💍💕

Both couples have been together happily for years, both want to get married, and one boyfriend even bought a ring months ago! But neither has proposed yet…

Can you guess…

I feel like I meet my ghost every time I go to London...
