Can’t believe a week has passed. The countdown stirs up Christmas cheer every year!
If you’re toddling off to London, pop to see the tree and GLOW, commissioned by @PoetrySociety, in all its light box glory! What a wonderful poetry tradition they’ve established.
With nativities, illness and EVERYTHING else it's verging on chaos in school, which makes us appreciate the enquiries we're getting all the more!
If you're trying to get organised for next term and want an in-person author visit to help celebrate the #YearofReading, get in touch!
Still feeling a certain incredulity about having a poem displayed in Trafalgar Square. Grateful to @PoetrySociety for trusting me to write this special poem.
poetrysociety.org.uk/news/look-no...
I’ve had a number of people asking to see the whole poem, as there have only been snippets on radio and tv, so here it is, without its light box glory. If you are very, very bored this afternoon, I’m scheduled to be on BBC London at 3.10pm, for an interview.
Have you been following along with our #AdventCalendar? There's all sorts of fun and treats behind the doors!
Head on over to www.instagram.com/authorsabroad to see what's behind todays door!
