A very Good Morning to you all and we hope you’re having the best weekend possible. Have a super Sunday everyone. Loving you all 🥶🪗💃🕺👍😊

Our tenth anniversary in 1986……..200+ Morris dancers in #Shrewsbury. Smiles, music, dance and fellowship all over town. A brilliant thing! From our team archives……..#becauseyourhistoryisimportant 👍😊💃🕺🪗

Thanks to @lib4sch.bsky.social and Catherine and @theemmapress.bsky.social for this - but special thanks to that @robwaltonwriter.bsky.social bloke.

It’s true. I am an author. I just don’t have any books you can buy at present, for reasons that are confidential but unimportant. What *is* important is that my five novels, published 2019-23, will be available in the next 3-6 months. New editions, new look, new sparkle. #BookSky 📚💙

Along the #BlueSky path, I have come across so many lovely people. Here are a few you should follow: @shrewsmorris.bsky.social @paulspoems.bsky.social @dominicpiper.bsky.social @djbakerbooks.com @hannahdennison.bsky.social @tillylovesbooks.bsky.social @kduptonwrites.bsky.social

It’s the paperback book birthday for MARGARET AND THE MOON, fabulously illustrated by @lucyknisley.bsky.social. I’m glad kids are still falling in love with the pioneering computer scientist who overcame all obstacles to send astronauts to the moon. www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/536667...
