I’ve been running this website since 2008. (I also draw the pictures) If any writers want to submit, feel free! Or if you can share to others, that would be less lovely too.

Now remember to take your pinhole camera home afterwards, we don’t want them littering up the South Downs like those abandoned tents after glastonbury.. Don’t let them ne an eyesore (ironically). #eclipse #pinholecameras

A long time ago, in what seems a galaxy far, far away (early #parenthood) i wrote a piece about my then 4-year old talking about #starwars. It led to being asked to write over 200 Distracted Dad columns for a #brighton magazine www.richardhearn.co.uk/star_wars_ma... #maythefourth #starwarsday
