“Summer of Play” Aug, 2022 ______________________________________________ I’ve been collecting and cutting and pasting and playing and creating for a while now (well, since I could hold a pen and pair of scissors actually!). My c
Aldeburgh on Friday, with my favourite 40-something and 11-monther 🍓🌞
It’s #worldbreastfeedingweek apparently! So I thought I’d take this opportunity to share this quiet moment from a few weeks ago, captured by Tom, illustrated by me 💕 We’re almost 11 months in, and I’ll forever be grateful t
Reading time where not many words were read. Admittedly Elph did manage to get through more of her book than I did mine (who was I kidding?) - and by ‘get through’ I mean flip, feel, chew then discard once she spotted the suncream in the

365 days of life were lived (and grown!) between these two photos. And to think it was Elphie in there all along, acting as a perfect little table for my hot cross bun 🥹

My lunches are being increasingly spent in the nursery, accompanied by a happy, napping Elphie. Sometimes, often, it’s a hastily-made, heavily buttered and sea-salted piece of toast and a mug of soup (whatever I can find in the freezer), and so
Today feels like a good day to share a snippet of, and the story behind, a recent commission of mine. When Milo got in touch to say he was planning to propose to one of my dearest old pals @4lot on Christmas Day and was I interested in illustrating
January 2022: a month of calm, cosiness, cold walks, covid, cups of tea, copious cuddles and – at times unbearable levels of – cuteness 🤍
Starting the year with my first commission in one of my favourite magazines being published. I actually wrote this piece on ecotherapy for @psychologiesmagazine a few weeks before Elphie was born last summer, inspired by a powerful, empowering ecothe
14 years ago today my mum died. 14 years since we were settling into a TV supper of AGA-baked cheese-on-toast for our first evening without her. 14 years’ worth of Christmas trees and festivities shadowed by the all-body memory of that day, and
I know I said Elphie was named after her great granny, but, actually, this moment of #Elfie joy right here is the real reason why. Please consider this photo our 2021 Christmas card in the absence of me having the time or inclination to make, write a
