This is the blog post equivalent of dashing home, not taking your coat off, grabbing a slurp of tea and dashing out again.
Illustrations by Celestino Piatti. Such genius, check out his work.
Music? We are listening to Bat for Lashes, The Haunted Man (isn’t everyone? You are not? Click here to find out what you’re missing ) and The Drums first album. Happy surfer sounds influenced by The Smiths and the Beach Boys – what’s not to like our blog-land friends?
Bye!
Post again tomorrow, promise………………….


That does not sound like a collection of music someone would create to! It sounds like music someone would go to a rave for!
Really, no? Its quite chilled in a upbeat kind of way! Your travelling Simon card isnt forgotten by the way. We have just been making and not going anywhere interesting but we will get to photographing it in some cool places soon!
Great choices! I’m lucky enough to have a copy iof The Golden Apple illustrated by Celestino Piatti, my mum kept most of my picture books and there are some real gems but the illustrations in that are just stunning. Must get around to taking photos and blogging about them. Loving your choice of tunes too…Rachel
Thanks Rachel. Love to see The Golden Apple. We are a great fan of retro kids story books (and contemporary ones too).
