Point of sale at #thesalonbuxton for my debut novel – a crime mystery set in a museum. What better way to pass the time while the hairs on the back of your neck are trimmed 😆

Another favourite comment from a child visitor to a natural history gallery was "The tiger was scary – it made me do a little wee!" This awesome example (sculpted from Tunnock's tea cake wrappers) is on display at the Stirling Smith gallery.
