Love the illustrations from the talented @jo_raiseborough for Zizu Loses His Stripes. So proud of the way he's developed as an artist and young man since we met. We'll be signing books at @Waterstones, #Darlington, 12-2pm on Saturday.

@amy_oakden @BBCTees @AnaSnowdon @sarahjrobbo When my son Chris was little, he had a pirate party for his birthday. His favourite bit was making me walk the plank, dressed as a pirate, while the kids threw water bombs at me.
Poppy parrot is one of my favourite illustrations by @jo_raiseborough from the forthcoming Zizu Loses His Stripes book. Gorgeous. https://t.co/SpabQBPleN #WorldBookDay
@amy_oakden @BBCTees @DonnaHaynes @RachelTeate @AlexJHodgson Willy Wonka and The Chocolate Factory because I’ve always wanted to try a Whipple-Scrumptious Fudge-Mallow Delight Wonka Bar. And Moby Dick because it’s my biggest bucket list item to see a whale breach.
Naturally, I was delighted when I heard five-year-old granddaughter, Chloe, come into the room and start a sentence with...“I really love you.”
And I was, understandably, gutted when I heard the sentence being completed..“I really love unicorns.”

@greenyfrom6am @BBCTees There was the time I was a teenager and the whole family proudly came to watch me take part in a dog obedience competition at ICI Wilton. I instructed my border collie, Flash, to “sit and stay” but he just cocked his leg and weed in my wellie - to a rapturous round of applause.
