I am so grateful for the synergy of us all – so many family members, old friends and new – coming together for such a loving and lovely book launch on Saturday. It was so inspiring! I think I forgot to ask someone to take photos, although a video was taken – some bits of it might be shown here soon! Below is a mockup of the table by the speaker (that would be me), so you can get the feeling. (Maybe someone did take a photo and might send it!

We had piano by Richard Burton upon coming in, and then we ended with a beautiful rendition of Martine’s violin – all our voices joining to sing Twinkle, twinkle. little star.

A new thing was illustrations I had mounted – ready to hang in a child’s room – which were very happily received. An example is in the photo. I will work on having some more available. The children loved choosing their favourite, and I think there are lots that can create a beautiful seasonal mood for a child. A lovely gift for a child or new baby.

Many thanks to generous book buyers – I don’t know how many – but I enjoyed signing many books! ❤️
