33 years ago today! It seems like yesterday. I wish it was tomorrow I would cancel it.

Labour MP Clive Lewis MP is right The #Tories are going to use the #Rwanda bill to erode our #HumanRights

#YouAreHere is out! A HUGE (caps) thank you to the brilliant Federico AndornINo and all the team at Sceptre Books, to the authors who gave wonderful quotes, the early readers and everyone coming to events. I'm very proud of this one which, I hope, is funny and passionate and optimistic.

It’s my Birthday today! 🥹

Another spin around the sun 😁 not gonna lie, it’s been a mad reflective year in many ways (turning 40 will do that to you), but I’m happy to say I had a good year in many ways.

Here’s some bits from the year I liked 🥰…I’m off to eat some cake.

Remembering Stephen Lawrence & his family & friends on the 31st anniversary of his murder by racists in SE London. May his legacy be strengthened by the work to combat racism, needed more today, & in the scholarships & good works being done in his memory.

It’s out this week, folks. Get your James Bond fix here.

A last-minute lighting check with stand-ins before the filming of Paddington Bear meeting her late majesty, Queen Elizabeth II, as part of the Platinum Jubilee celebrations. The man on the right is thought to be either Frank Cottrell-Boyce or simon farnaby. #QueenElizabeth

There is no escaping my big forehead in the national newspapers today. I am in the Indo, talking about my life in books and why Nanny Ogg is the best Pratchett character.

It's mad to me that stay-at-home motherhood often finds itself dumped meekly into the 'explain any absences' section of the cv instead of front and centre on the employment history section outlining the ridiculous number of skills and expertise developed during said 'absence'

Ok. It is frankly terrifying up here. These things are heavy as buses and they are two feet from my head. ….Think end of the Nine Tailors, etc 😱

Victoria Wood passed away on this day in 2016. Let’s celebrate her life with your favourite Victoria quote…

Twinkle – He’d done us a frozen pizza. He’d just taken it out the oven and, you know.

Bren – Did he use protection?

Twinkle – Oven mitts.

Also read A Drop of Golden Sun by Kate Saunders, recommended by Sanchita ⁦Children's Bookshop⁩. An absolute delight from beginning to end, it’s the story of Jenny, who lands a part in a film musical very like The Sound of Music. Such great characters & storytelling. Loved it!

Neighbourhood watch.
Probably my most popular cartoon. I can draw one for you if you like.

Wondering if I can turn this into some sort of business card I can hand out to people when I meet them?

I am absolutely over the moon to tell you that I will be receiving the Liverpool Citizen of honour Award at the Liverpool Town Hall in a few weeks' time.
I just wanted to express my gratitude and thank you all for your support on this amazing journey.
THANK YOU 🙏✌️ #ODAAT Everton

Frank Cottrell-Boyce True. She’s certainly had more publicity than a lot have had for their book though.
