Ace piece on BBC Radio 4 Today about where the Gruffalo has been - possibly to school, to Centre Parcs, had a baby, met some more mice and tried to eat them? Perhaps he’s become best friends with the mouse and gone to play on the swings? BRILLIANT!

Taking boats like buses 
Island hopping 
On the cusp of summer
Before the crowds arrived
‘Ashtray bikes’ no cars 
Larks ascending, pale breasted linnets, families of eider duck
Sea, skies and silver birch
Southern archipelago - just out of Gothenburg 🇸🇪 - May-time magic

The fun of choosing holiday pics to post with #WishYouWereHer I raced along with this summery story of fame & first love, with its astute leading lady, sparring booksellers, familiar friends from Lake Pristine & subtle message of looking out for others. Absolutely 5 ⭐️ loved it!

The pub where I’m staying on this #HamzasWildWorld road trip tour kindly made me a bacon sandwich for tomorrow’s breakfast. Seeing as it’s fresh I thought I’d go early a few hours early and have it now.
