Smutty Putterhouse

Phew! Just got back from my weeks holiday down in Cornwall. We stay at a place called Porthleven which is on the south coast up the road from Penzance. The weather was sublime and hubby and I only managed to leave the town once and that was to go to The Sea Food Cafe in St Ives (I recommend!).

We have been visiting Porthleven for years now (10 to be precise). It is so stress free and although it sounds boring, I really can’t be bothered with airports, foreign languages and dodgy food. You know where you are with a good old pasty.

I have friends though who love to travel and visit areas of culture or have activities booked for each day they are away. (Lord!). But we are all different aren’t we, and that is what makes the human race so interesting.

So here I am. Raring to go with loads of ideas on my mission to motivate the nation. Spurred on by the fact that my new book  Smutty Putterhouse (all about a lovable dyslexic window cleaner, modelled on Mr Tipping, of course) is now launched in the shops and on Amazon and KTP website. It is an amazing feeling to see your book in print. Although John’s book, Go Play in the Sand, John, has been out for a while now, it is different when it is your own.

The book is about acceptance that we are all different and that we should embrace diversity.  the first story is about Smutty himself as a boy and how he realised that you don’t have to be good at the written word to be a hero. Smutty two and three have been written and are currently with Frances for editing and then we need to arrange for the illustrations to be done. Lots to do.

If you do buy a copy, please let me know what you think. xx
