Sleep well beautiful Holly. Our most brilliant and bonkers cat. You picked us when we visited Battersea Cats Home all those years ago and you have been the best cat we could wish for. Rest now, we will never forget you. Xx. #cat #batterseacatshome #family

Although it won't be confirmed until after the event has reached Earth, there are signs tonight's Severe Geomagnetic Storm will be the strongest since 2005. This will mean it's likely all of the UK (cloud permitting) should be able to see the the Aurora tonight if you look north

'Reading is escape, and the opposite of escape; it's a way to make contact with reality after a day of making things up, and it's a way of making contact with someone else's imagination after a day that's all too real.' Nora Ephron was born #OnThisDay in 1941!

‘Brims with adventure, excitement & genuine historical detail. Robin Scott-Elliot is skilful at bringing characters & surroundings to life. The reader experiences a real sense of the Highlands.’ Many thanks to Just Imagine for the lovely review justimagine.co.uk/childrens-book…
