I cannot tell you how much this man, his artwork & storytelling has meant to me since I first saw this book in 1978! This exhibition is a true gem, yet another incredible coup for #HitchinMuseum. Feeling blessed to finally see these. #thesnowman #raymondbriggs #inspired

"A masterpiece..." So says an educator who's opinion I value! Touched to think next term Yrs5/6 will be using MY humble book to learn about our history - at a time when it looked like our history might have ended!

Joint No1 in my #FavePicturebooks24 is… “Blitz, One Family’s War” by @martinimpey.bsky.social. It is a truly stunning story of the impact the war had on one family and on the city of London. It’s a masterclass of bringing history to vivid life. Astounding stuff. #Picturebookpage

Remembering Rifleman Strudwick who lies at Essex Farm aged just 15! I had to capture this and the innocent blue Teddy that someone had left. A reminder of how young some of these young men (boys) were. #WeWillRememberThem #LestWeForget #RemembranceSunday2024 #Remembrance
