What interesting things can I learn completely using hands-free audio? I’m going to be hardcore illustrating for months and months and wondering if I can keep another part of my brain active by learning something like a language or a ridiculously niche pub quiz subject.

Not trying to be smug but I can't wait for Carly's amazing books to be out there so I can pull the 'I knew her from way back' card ☺️🥳 Go Dr Brown!

When your mind is slowly fading, and your body not so strong, when all is long forgotten but the wren’s devoted song, when you’re in your second childhood, nothing left for you to tend, I’ll do my best, defend the nest until we reach the end. (A daughter’s promise, 2024).

When your mind is slowly fading,
and your body not so strong,
when all is long forgotten 
but the wren’s devoted song,
when you’re in your second childhood, 
nothing left for you to tend, 
I’ll do my best,
defend the nest 
until we reach the end.

This isn’t a real book (yet) but I’d love to make an illustrated adult book in future full of light and goodness, something for folk in the second half of life searching for their inner child. Already have so much writing & about 200 illustrations in the personal work archive ☺️
