Really enjoyed this, Katy. Derek’s pen-stealing phase reminds me of Slinky Malinki (Lynley Dodd’s picture book about a thieving cat).

Love the squares of light of different lives. Bit like Substack!

Oh I loved every bit of this. I’m still not over how cool it is that you get to live there and how lucky we are that you share it with us.

It is a bit like a dream, isn't it? x

Derek - quite a character, isn't she?!

She is. She is one of a kind!

One day we will discover sacred and mysterious things about the butternut squash community and then we will all be worshipping them. I love this story.
