I am delighted to have been featured on the BBC twice in December, talking about Mister Mishkins’ Apothecary.

Today is World Kindness Day. But I want to know - Today is World Kindness Day. But I want to know - what does kindness mean to you? What does it look like? Does it have a particular feeling or voice? Kindness can be so many things. A smile to someone, sending a card in the post, offering a hug, through to taking over elements of peoples' lives when they are struggling - walking the dog, doing the shopping, or taking them to places they need to be when they don't know how to ask. And then, there is the self-kindness. That little voice in our heads that we listen to a bit too much when things aren't going as we feel that they should. That pushing of our selves when we are already exhausted. Sometimes, we need to remember to be kind to ourselves, too. Be kind, not just on World Kindness Day, but every day. Even the smallest of things can make the biggest difference. Samantha xx
The Magic of Mister Mishkins is enchanting young r The Magic of Mister Mishkins is enchanting young readers the world over, and I thought it was time to introduce you to the cats from book two who live within the realm of the Apothecary. The first cat in book two is Waffles, who helps a young boy who is scared of the dark. Instead of being scared, Waffles shows him the magic that can only be seen at night - stars and badgers, anyone? I thought so!

The Beaver Moon over South Norfolk. The skies ar The Beaver Moon over South Norfolk. The skies are hazy tonight, clouds flitting across the skies, a chill in the air that slowly seeps into your bones, as magic happens in the celestial skies above. I love the rings around this moon. I love the echoes in the universe, reaching out to us. And like so many, I am just transfixed by the moon... This was taken when the moon was much higher than I normally would have liked, but it is beautiful nonetheless. Looking at the moon tonight, I say the words that will bring me all that I need, all that I have been dreaming of. Say yours aloud, look at the moon, and believe with all your heart that your world will be transformed into all you have imagined. Samantha xx
