Author: Brigid
Allow myself to introduce ...myself.
I'm Brigid.
I live in London and work in a primary school. My ambition is to be a children's author and illustrator but I write other bits and bobs too. I write and crochet lots, but I also like listening to 80s music and dancing like a loon.
My heart beats for vintage dresses, mini coopers, brass bands, the Oxford comma, and hula hoops (the twirly-round things, not the crisps).
Proud owner of a dog, a trumpet, a voodoo doll, and a pink ukulele.
This blog is a mishmash of my general life. I hope you enjoy it.
