Hello! At the end of last year, my dad (who was a self-published author) sadly passed away from Covid and like many others I saw what the NHS has to go through, and I decided I wanted to help.


Having loved reading bedtime stories to my own children, I was inspired to publish my very own first children?s bedtime book. It?s a book about lockdown life told through the eyes of a young girl with a message of hope for the future. Printed in the UK, the book is both dedicated to my dad and the NHS - so much so that I will donate ?1 for every copy sold to NHS Charities Together (charity no: 1186569). A magazine has agreed to publish a small piece on it in the ?What We?re Loving Section? so it?s very exciting so I hope we can raise some good funds. I hope to do a book signing at some point in Dulwich Park too, when normality resumes.


But for now, my book is called ?Oh No, Not Another Lockdown!? (yes we can all relate right? 😉) and it is a funny rhyming bedtime book for toddlers and young children. It?s available for ?5.99 exclusively at https://www.rbbooks.co.uk/ with ?1 of that being donated, so it?s a very worthy cause.


I hope (as I actually lived in ED for many years, and now just a stone?s throw away) that the good people of ED will help support the cause. And tomorrow is World Book Day, so happy book day too!


There are more details on the website, but I?ve attached a few teaser pics, some never been seen before including one which all parents who are home schooling will appreciate.


So thank you very much


Regards

    • We need to build houses for social rent. Not 'affordable housing' (which is a euphemism for housing that is completely unaffordable to most) - actual council housing.  Taxes do need to go up. We have to stabilise public services and start paying down our national debt to break free of the sway bond markets have over UK governments freedom to act. We are probably all going to have to work longer too. The original UK state pension was there to help those who often had been in physically demanding manual or labouring jobs. The retirement age was set above average life expectancy at the time; It was not designed for a population of mainly white collar workers people to spend one-quarter, to one-third of their adult life in retirement. I know that may sound harsh, and I certainly don't want to work forever, but the fact is that we have an aging population and a diminishing tax base, and no politician who is willing to make fundamental reforms. Mostly we need to grow, and that means at some point, addressing our relationship with the world's largest trading block right on our doorstep. The damage done by Brexit has been crazy. The fact that it's chief architect has managed to come up smelling of roses and may potentially be our next PM is just mind blowing to me.
    • Mice will eat *anything*! That shop had a couple of very low food hygiene ratings over the years (and it was closed for "refurbishment" for a while which was obviously the first attempt to deal with the pest problem) so I'm not surprised by that article. You'd hope that pest control would have dealt with the majority of them...
