Exciting stuff Helen. I love the fact you wear your dressing gown over your clothes too! And then the postman calls and I throw it off in such a hurray 😂

Looks like a Beddlington play-centre (placenta) is in there as well 🐾🐾

I am guessing the smelly dressing gown doubles up as the do not disturb sign?

Enjoy the hot chocolate, and maybe have some melted Minstrels at the end?

This made me splutter my morning coffee. You write so descriptively about birthing a picturebook. We always forget the pain afterwards fortunately! P xx

Yes to working in a dressing gown! Any and all comforts in times of stress. Hope you have a constant supply of tea and biscuits nearby too. 💫
