Two weeks away from book deadline and I've run out of mini eggs. I'll be buried under a pile of notes and muttering nonsense to myself for the foreseeable.

Also been meaning to share this for absolutely ages…a book I bought to add to my Willow Winsham collection. It’s excellent. And also, erm, who sent me the Bear? 👇

Don't worry Haz, for once Andrew's low success rates works in your favour. Also, WHY do people keep having such faith in the man when he can't even spot the fact JJ is the spitting image of his brother?? 🤣🤣

The number of cuckoo's notes which you hear the first time in spring shows the number of years you will remain single. Also: whoever hears the cry of the cuckoo for the first time in the spring, may ask him how many more years he has to live.

In Welsh folklore it was said that in the 19th century in Cwmcarvan, an extraordinarily large white owl was often spotted over an ancient battlefield, leading to the belief the bird was magical and should not be disturbed.

In Shropshire it was the tradition for farmers to leave off work as soon as they heard the first cuckoo of spring.

They would devote that day to merrymaking and drinking, especially 'Cuckoo Ale'. It was a great day for the community

According to a Flemish folktale there was a woman who owned hundreds of rabbits. She was suspected of being a witch. She and her rabbits often walked in the fields while it rained but the drops never touched them.

Having thirteen people sitting down to dinner has long been said to be bad luck. This problem was solved in one case by a woman sitting her favourite cat at the table to make the numbers up to fourteen! (Image: Louis Wain, The Bachelor Party)
