@magicalmistermishkins is just about ready for the new week to begin...

We had the most wonderful, relaxed weekend after plans were unexpectedly cancelled, and this week looks set to be busy and exciting, including one of my 13 at 50 on Thursday and the @indiechildrensauthornetwork Literary Festival on Saturday.

What about you - what are your plans? Have a great week, whatever you are up to.

One of the loveliest things about releasing Nero the Hero has been reading the messages and reviews from readers, parents, grandparents and bloggers. This one especially made me smile:

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
"It's such an engaging read."

Thank you to everyone who has welcomed Nero into your homes. Every review, recommendation, and kind word helps another young reader discover his adventures.

Thursday thoughts.

Time and space really are the greatest gifts.

Sometimes, the gift isn't more time to DO, but more time to simply BE. Time to think. Time to dream. That space to let ideas quietly take root before they are ready to bloom for the world to see.

My rather crazy diary was unexpectedly given some breathing space this week, and having that time back truly feels like a gift.

The seeds of my next book have already been spilled onto the page today. The ideas I've been carrying with me for the last year are finally ready to be explored.

For that unexpected gift of time and space, I am truly grateful.

The @magicalmistermishkins is recharging ahead of the @fifaworldcup @england match tonight. Either that, or he is dreaming about magical apothecaries...

Thank you @louisabapothecary for this gorgeous box of goodies!

The Moonspell Manifesting Mist is amazing, and the whole box just smells heavenly.

I love how @southwoodsocialhub brings people together whose paths may never have crossed before.

I am really going to enjoy these goodies - and please, do go and check Louisa's website to see all of her holistic offerings.

Thank you again, Louise, for this gorgeous and uplifting gift.

Let the moon magic begin ✨️
