• My great readers, James and Kirsten Newton have made me a wordsearch out from characters form my books. How brilliant is that? They say that I can share their work with you all, so click here or click the picture to get a full size printout.

    I thought I’d put this on my site a long time ago. I did all the work but never made links. Sorry James and Kirsty, you have been waiting very patiently. No excuses other than that I’ve been very busy finishing my artwork for the new Axel Storm series, which I hope you will read in time too!

  • It’s so wet today. However, I’ve been to the opticians this morning for an eye test and I thought I would amuse you all with a picture of me wearing the weird test spectacles you wear while having your eyes tested.

    This might brighten up a gloomy day a little bit.

  • I do find building techniques really quite fascinating. Today I went shopping to Cardiff. I saw this building site and took a photo, because I couldn’t work out what the yellow Xena loading bay things were.

    I looked them up on http://www.xenasystems.com/ and was amazed at what I found.

    There is a crane at the top which lifts loads and drops them into the loading bays which pop out on each floor. This means that there is no need for a tower crane on the site.

    I suppose tower cranes are quite expensive and they need a lot of space to swing around in. This is brilliant for a really tight site. A truck can pull up underneath and be unloaded very quickly.

    It’s amazing how people keep coming up with brilliant ideas for problems you never knew existed!
