Action packed, fun filled beginning at Abu Dhabi with the book fair, the creative summit, some readings and the light show.

Action packed and full of fun.

Nice to have familiar faces in foreign places too.

A carrot a day brings luck they say.

It certainly does at HIllingdon Hospital which was bursting with luck!

A magical fun filled day guaranteed to get me in the Easter spirit.

Thank you, Wendell Park, for a hopping great time!

It was quite a relentless week of London Book Fair fun and then on to Geneva.

The alarm in the bathroom of the plane would not stop ringing… fortunately not a pre-emptive sign of what was to come as it was a joy from start to finish.

Thank you, Decouverte and La Chataigneraile, for such a magical start to my Swiss adventure.

They say ignorance is bliss and thankfully I walked into this one completely blind.

Luckily my talk went down well, sharing information about the difference between publishing and self publishing through port and starboard.

If I have helped even a tiny bit I’ll be happy.

Always a treat to go back to Hill House!

Thank you, Jane Story, for gallantly dressing up as Eddie and entering into the spirit of everything so warmly.

Thank you so much, Stefanie and Hillingdon hospital, for giving me the very best birthday.

It was magical from start to finish. Sharing Jennifer’s story and then celebrating with balloons, party poppers and lots of joy.

I’ll never forget a second.

Happiness at Hillingdon for Valentines Day. The hearts were flying and there was a lot of love in the ward.

The happiest time, for me, was being interviewed on the radio. It has been my dream all my life to share my desert island discs.

It was wonderful travelling back through yesteryear and sharing hopes and dreams for the future.
