Hate was too strong, I agree. ❤️

Hi Alex

Jon Green here. How are you? I read about your battles with Long Covid and hope that your recovery is continuing to go from strength to strength.

I was wondering if I could ask you a favour. In 2022, we left London and moved to Taunton in Somerset. My wife is now teaching at Taunton Prep School and a girl in her Year 4 class - Kelsie, aged 8 - has been reading Hotel Flamingo: Carnival Caper. She's loving it and when Clare told her we knew you she was very excited. Could you possibly send her a short message that I can pass on?

I'm looking forward to seeing The Little Shop of Magic. As a backer, I've put my niece and nephew's names in there.

Best wishes

Jon

Jon! Of course! Shall I send a postcard to the school class? That could be nice!

And I still get a bit tired, but I’m rapidly coming to the conclusion that it may be because I’m almost 50!!! 😆

Well at 53, I wake up wondering why my back's hurting, or my foot's hurting, or my arm's hurting...

A postcard to the class would be brilliant. It's 4G at Taunton Prep School, Staplegrove Road, Tauton, TA2 6AD.

Very best wishes!

Jon

PS - If it arrives this week, the children are celebrating Book Week!

Now I am going to have to buy a copy of the Pebble Spotters Guide. Do you think the pebbles here in NZ are the same as UK ones? Or do I need to find the NZ pebble spotters guide?

Although it seems to relate only to pebbles the author has found in the UK, it feels quite universal as it tends to say where the types of rock are found globally!
