Thanks, too, to all the folk who bought copies of 'snapshots from the fall of home'. I'm heading home with far fewer books than I came with. 😎 And if you're reading this and would like one, they're available from @IgniteBooks https://t.co/EnZHaDEPN4

[Ignite Books @IgniteBooks]

And a huge parcel of 'A Marvellous Party' sent to the venue for an Ian Elmslie talk. Bought and paid for. Not bad for a Tuesday. 😎

We've hit the ground running this morning. One copy of 'City Baby' sent out 1st class to someone who's flying out to Australia in a few days (don't want them to miss out on some great reading for the flight!). 😎

And while we're here... a quiet reminder that you'll find us over on the other place, the one which isn't run by Corporal Ket, and we hope you'll follow us there. Ta. 🙂

Treat yourself to a bit of Mere Singers. A song composed by Michael Betteridge using words from a poem that was created by way of a collaboration between myself and the singers during workshops. It's gorgeous. https://t.co/0aXjiCwqXl

[Ignite Books @IgniteBooks]

Just back from a stroll to the Post Office in the glorious February sunshine. If you ordered books from us in the last 24 hours, they're now on their way. Happy reading! 😎

[Ignite Books @IgniteBooks]

Treat yourself.

Quietly chuffed that our packaging on all the books we send out is now 100% recyclable and plastic-free. Admittedly, it's taken a while to get there (we had old stock bought in which needed using) but we made it. #SmallStepsForward #ToABetterPlanet
