@Robertahuckle @lauchlan_anya How very odd. Still it takes all sorts... Best wishes to you both.

@PLauchlan50982 @lauchlan_anya She loves the constant attention and is just as nosey as the duck and chicken, and tries to get to the front door before them, just in case they're getting something she's missing out on.

The girlies, Shirley aka Shelly Belly, Cookie and Polly. A late lovely afternoon here in France. @lauchlan_anya @PLauchlan50982 #france #normandy #Nature

@Robertahuckle @lauchlan_anya That's nice. We miss our life in Normandy very much. Still not moved to a more suitable house. All a bit depressing. Best wishes.

As a British MP I can tell you what “showing up” looks like. It looks like 457 British soldiers who died in Afghanistan. NATO has only ever gone to war for one country. Yours. The question isn’t whether NATO showed up, it’s whether we forgive you for pretending otherwise.

Its really encouraging to see that our new book #ToysatNight published by goldfishbooksuk.com is receiving 5 star Reviews at #Waterstones website. Hopefully we will be able to continue to raise funds for good causes through sales. @waterstones @Goodreads @GCH_Charity

@bornatotter How strange I moved to Burgess Hill in 1969. It was a very small town then. But I don't know what's going on here?

Made it. Quick reminder. You don’t mess with the Burgess Hill 69ers firm.

@arealmofwonder @HenryLeerhenry My Scots granny used to say this to us as kids, except she would say "When I was three I was only wee".

Prepare for a teary-eyed smile... A.A. Milne

@ATRightMovies 10 out of 10. My favourite movie!

What would you rate CASABLANCA out of 10?

Delighted to hear that Toys at Night is now available to order via Waterstones and TGJones (formerly WHSmith). Funds raised in Scotland, will go towards supporting Glasgow Children's Hospital Charity. #kidslit #Art @DaniGaravelli1 @stmarysmaryhill @GCH_Charity @theglasgowbell

@JohnnyCash Despite all his fame, Johnny Cash was a charming man face to face. I met him in London years ago but still remember how polite he was.

Johnny’s 66th studio album was released 25 years ago today, American III: Solitary Man featured 'Solitary Man,' which earned a Grammy for Best Male Country Vocal Performance.

The real hero in our new book "Toys at Night", is Tomcat, pictured here looking out of the window with some of the toys whose stories he whispers into the ears of the sleeping children. Goldfishbooksuk.com #kidslit #art #literature #magic #caturday
