I think it’s worth repeating. I hope your Sunday is ok.

Hello. I’ve added this drawing to the end of the book to mark what a tough year it has been, and still is.

Sorry - this starts as a blank screen. I’m working on the music for the audio book and clearly struggle to multi task. In case you find it hard to read the handwriting; “ What do we do when our hearts hurt?”asked the boy. “We wrap them with friendship, shared tears and time, till they wake hopeful and happy again.”

I thought I’d post a wobbly reading for a grey Monday. I’ve finally finished the audio recording... I’m clearly very slow.

It’s World Mental Health Day today - I thought this was worth saying again. Hold on.

Thank you, quite a year. It began here and I love posting and reading your comments.

Another hug, I drew this in march. Hope you’re ok - we will get through this.

I thought I’d post a hug. There will be a time when we can do this again.

Hello. I left the book in a bus stop, with a bag made for Books are my Bag. The sales of the bag help independent bookshops who have had a difficult time. You can get them in bookshops across the UK and Ireland. @booksaremybag It’s also #bookshopday today.

I hope your weekend is good.

I was talking to a friend who’s having a very tough time and found myself drawing this again. I thought I’d post it.
