• It’s so nearly Halloween and you will want to do scary pictures and posters and party invitations. Well, here are three different and easy ways to do scary writing. Follow the instructions on the video and you’ll soon be frightening the neighbours! (Be gentle with them!)

  • Here’s a video that shows you how to draw an evil-looking tree that’s just perfect for halloween posters. This drawing comes from my Little Horrors book, The Sandman.

  • What a busy few weeks, and it’s not over yet. On Tuesday I went to visit Coalway Infants School, just up the road. My own children went there what seems like for ever ago and yet just like yesterday.

    I had a wonderfully warm welcome because hardly anything has changed since my children were there! A great team of teachers are still together after all these years. Schools change personnel so frequently and so change their style and culture. It’s so nice to see a sense of stability in these rocky times.

    Whatever you are doing at Coalway, please carry on. I had such fun with the children and they did some brilliant drawings too. Thanks for a great morning.
