Just In Time. Here We Go!

Starting from the 27th of January, The Worst Witch will return to CBBC, and on that day I'll write blog-exclusive stories about Mildred and her witch friend Luella, starting with a spoof of 'Thomas The Jet Engine' named 'Mildred The Jet Engine'. Basically, Mildred discovers a rocket-powered broom and starts to ride it across Cackles', like Thomas had that jet engine attached to him in the original episode of Thomas & Friends. Stay tuned!

I.B.F.Fs: Cleo's Spa Day

I treat Cleo to a peaceful spa day by filling the paddling pool up with water and bubble bath. Tiny helps me, and I massage Cleo's shoulders whilst Tiny files her 'nails'. Cucumber slices are placed on Cleo's eyes, just as in any spa treatment.

Me, You, And...Little Friends: Let's Be Brave

I've recently thought up ideas for the Little Friends story collection Let's Be Brave, based on the Dragon Tales DVD of the same name. Tenderheart Bear tries to find use for his doctors' kit, Minty shakes out her sleepover excitement, Beast Boy tries to confront his and Ord's fear of lightning, Jetfire goes into a cave to confront a monster that's scaring Ord (Pingu's Dream, anyone, because I've added a monster similar to the walrus, but he is less frightening) and Baby Bugs and Daffy help Samuel, Coco and Jinkie the pixie find out why Zak and Wheezie are shedding their skin.

New Works Of The Day - 15/1/20


  • I.B.F.Fs: Bubbles - The I.B.F.Fs and I play around bubbles.
  • Me, You, And My Little Pony: The Movie - I'm not talking about the 2017 movie, I'm talking about the 1986 one. Here, Furaha recalls the time she went with her friends Custard, Pupcake, Minty, Trip and Circuit to Ponyland, where they must band together to stop the Smooze from destroying the valley.
  • Me, You, And The Transformers: The Movie - It's the 1986 one, not the Michael Bay movie trilogy. Jetfire tells Furaha a bedtime story about the Guardians Of Cybertron, which stars them both along with the other cubs and their Autobot friends.
