RIP David Lynch, an absolute genius and huge inspiration to me. Twin Peaks is probably still my favourite of his creations, here's a print a created a while back with Jealous Print Studio. #DavidLynch

In two weeks time I'll be heading to @withymead Nature Reserve in Goring for a day of 'Life on the Thames' readings and free craft activities for families. It's a beautiful spot on the river in the Chiltern Hills. 🦢🦆 #ChildsPlayBooks #LifeOnTheThames

It's officially the start of Spring, but I've been noticing a lot of parading and pairing up on the Thames for a while now. The mallards are looking particularly handsome. #SpringEquinox #LifeOnTheThames
