@therroneill A beautiful story that resonates with everyone who shares it.

To not only see it translated in a different language but hear it is truly wonderful.

The journey of One Thought (from the day it was itself a thought) continues to ripple kindness wherever it's shared.

@therroneill So many story characters wanting to share their favourite book - The Duck of Yolk didn't quite make the photoshoot as he and his ten thousand hens are juggling an upcoming book launch which includes venturing up the serpentine steps of Carlisle Town Hall

@therroneill @DelamereAcademy & vice versa - I'm having too much fun creating some new illustrations which include some amazing sketches by children.

They are inspiring me to explore and revist the joy of drawing and I'm so excited to see how our creative collaborations will appear in a new picture book.

@therroneill @AlderTreeLeeds A marvelous morning - so many wonderful ideas shared.

Always a treat to work in collaboration with @AlderTreeLeeds.

It's all about owls...

[Michelle Russell @Michell17299340]

@therroneill @AlderTreeLeeds The characters are taking shape nicely, ready for the next chapter in building the story...

Did someone mention candy floss?

#fairbear loves candy floss & stories.

A story inspired by her favourite fairground treat has certainly got her attention.

The Cumberland Building Society might now join the history of the Bamboo, Kentoys, Laundrette & Post Office that once served the community
