ooh this is so enjoyable to read. I'm excited to see what else comes out of your loft. I love the graphics and the way your eyes respond to the world. I look forward to reading more notes from Nicola and desk dispatches! I'm going to pinch the photography idea for the Summer hols with Fred (a reluctant walker with his Mum) xx

Oh I am so glad you enjoyed it. Next time I'll dig out some of the results from thematic photo walks. The loft excavation is truly extraordinary. After 20 years of being carer of so much inherited junk, I can finally see the wood for the trees and separate the treasures from the trash! Happy walking with Fred. I'd love to see what you come up with. XX

Great first edition....

I like your ideas for photography with kids. Good for grandmothers too! I'm going to experiment

I'm going to try this for myself! I have a decent phone camera, and I've always felt it's a shame not to use it.

ooh yes please do try it! You'll love it! Either just snap things you fancy, or set yourself a theme. I've had such a lovely response to this, I'm going to post more examples next time.

Yes do! It's active mindfulness with a creative product at the end. Great for people who can't cope with lying on the floor. Do show me what you come up with!

It feels very special when my books have lives in different languages. And funny when my name is translated too! I'll post more next time. X

Ah thank you Pam! This feels like a less frenetic place to share desk dispatches than some of the social media sites. I think I'm going to enjoy it! xxx

And a new word: substack

My phone insists you mean substance, but I have won the argument.

Looking forward to getting together one day, some day xxx

I'm taking a box a night approach having ignored it for years. I have treasures from several generations to wade through. Taking it slowly makes a wonderful adventure.
