Thank you to Stuart George at BBC Radio Stoke for having me on todays show speaking about the importance of reading & writing in education for the young. Literacy & reading have been so important to me all throughout my life and I believe they are such fantastic skills to have!

Yesterday I had the pleasure of attending the launch of Festival of Brilliant 2025 in Biddulph, I'm so thankful for Brian at Biddulph Old Hall for hosting this wonderful event. The festival returns this year in July and is a celebration of children's books & stories!
