So amazing for me (and my kids) to see my pretty niche job represented in a children’s book. Thank you @simonpackham.bsky.social - worrybot bringing joy to public health consultant parents across the country! #publichealth (And my daughter said it was great & recommended to all her friends)

Spent the afternoon in Narnia. (At Nymans) Always liked 'The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe', but much preferred the bad characters - especially The White Witch.
