Thank you @professor-dave.bsky.social for my copy of your new book. It’s full of delicious looking recipes but also a great guide to child-friendly tourist spots in Yorkshire. And, of course, a tender account of love and family life.

I have a big ask. My 9yo son is autistic and he’s been raising a betta fish he named Kevin. Yesterday He asked if he could “share a photo of Kevin with the whole world“. I don’t know if this will work, but a dad’s gotta try. Like and share if that’s your thing. Kevin says hi! 🐟👋
