Who can spot Claire and Ro deep in a meeting at the LBF a fortnight ago? A prize for the first correct answer! You may also spot them at the Dementia Care and Nursing Home Expo at the NEC tomorrow for the launch of our exciting new project!

We're looking forward to attending @thelondonbookfairexhibition this week! If you're there, look out for the special UK edition of Writer's Digest that we produced for F+W – full of fantastic interviews and advice for authors. Grab a free copy if you can! #lbf18

Beth popped in with cake last week to celebrate Hat Day, raising £67.50 in support of Brain Tumour Research. Every two hours, someone in England is diagnosed with a brain tumour, amounting to 16,000 diagnoses each year in the UK. See here for more info: http://ow.ly/NLLe30jhPMs

Claire just spent a very interesting couple of days in beautiful, sunny Bologna at the book fair. Thanks for your time to those she met up with and a warm welcome to new friends!

Anyone fancy a free clay workshop from the 'Hey Clay!' initiative? If you can't get to one of the venues listed, there's a link to a free video tutorial at the bottom. Don't forget Creative Plus can help you make video tutorials for your own audience http://ow.ly/L14r30j7chZ !

What a healthy bunch we're going to be! "...knitting lowers heart rate by an average 11 beats per minute and induces ‘an enhanced state of calm’ and even ... a drop in stress hormones and blood pressure." http://ow.ly/p7Bq30iXEEV

A shy crochet fan that shall not be named sent in this picture of her wearing our contentious 'headphones hat', purchased at the summer sale. I'm sure it looks lovely at every angle! Thanks for sharing :)

We had a very interesting day at CHSI, then the ladies in the press office sent us on our merry way with fruit kebabs – and white chocolate profiteroles that didn't quite make it into the photo...
