Spent most of January with Flu so it was lovely to go to Bloomsbury Ballroom last thursday for the LOLLIES 2020. They are an award for the funniest book of the year and SPYDER was shortlisted! obviously it didn’t win but I had a lovely night, sort of hanging out with picture book royalty like Julia Donaldson (and her husband Malcolm, who incidentally came off stage after playing a king to tend to a woman who had fainted just behind us! Bit of an allrounder is Malcolm) Liz Pichon and Michael Rosen.
