We're looking forward to two local history month talks from the Falkirk area's favourite history experts. This pic is from back in 2017 when Ian and Geoff met our giant papier mache model of Carnera the "world's largest working horse" 🤔.

Ian and Geoff flank a 7ft paper mache horse sculpture which is covered in black and white photos of the original Carnera horse.

my latest books cartoon for @theguardian.com

Two hooded figures with lamps approach a moonlit, isolated cottage.
A woman answers the door.
We have come for the child, says the hooded figure
So soon? she asks
It is time, says the hooded figure.
The woman is distraught. We should never have got him a library card!
What is done cannot be undone, says the hooded figure
We couldn’t see the harm! We just wanted him to enjoy reading!
For most, it ends there, says the hooded figure, turning away and walking into the wilderness
Oh lord, What have I done! says the woman,
the child walks past her and out into the darkness with them.
Do not cry mother.
I am a writer now.
