Which one is you?


Blue sky. The almond blossom is out. The air smells of honey and a million bees in the trees. Hooray again.

Something in the Air

My absolute heroine, Tove Jansson. My grandmother's neighbour used to read to me from this very book which sat on a bookshelf outside her kitchen in a village called Bryant's Bottom.

Then, I read from this book to my daughter when she was small and we wrote to Tove Jansson many years ago, filling the envelope with drawings and flowers and a list of countries where all my Moomintroll books had lived and she wrote back a long,wonderful letter with pages of stickers and postcards.

I still dip into her books and am back in the world of sunshine, rowing boats and adventure.
