Immersing oneself in a story is the most enjoyable wonderful escapism.  Trapped in Cerebral Palsy here: I run within the pages; skipping, laughing, exploring.  Imagery expands, entwining itself with experience, inspiring writing of its own.  Which two books do you think influenced my latest story?

During Lent people often give something up, like chocolate or coffee (my sister was disappointed to discover that giving up school was not an option!) However, we have decided to take small steps to being more generous with all that God has given us. Helped by the Kindness Elves™, who are spending Lent on our bookshelf giving us a daily challenge, we are trying different ways to be kind.

Amazingly, Hannah, from Sugar Films, has very generously decided to help me beat my personal target to raise more money for charity this year than last year, by running the half marathon.  (https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/hannahmelia) What will you be giving, or giving up for Lent?
