Happy Alpaca August!

No, seriously. Kenilworth Books has declared it to be ALPACA AUGUST - so that absolutely must be the case. They also have a super special offer going on. More about that in a minute.

Alfonso is very excited about Alpaca August, as is his cousin Alonso.

Alonso?

Alonso turned up at Kenilworth Books this week. How on earth did that happen, I hear you ask? Well, according to Tamsin Rosewell it is a rich and strange story. He was in a boat, sailing off to buy vanilla, and there was a sudden Tempest! He washed ashore here. A famous artist painted Alonso in the Tempest…

And that vanilla he bought? He used it to make these delicious red velvet and white chocolate chip bowtie shaped cookies! Yum! You can find Alonso’s full recipe and baking instructions right here.

Despite the hectic journey, they’ve turned out pretty good don’t you think?

Ah, now that special offer I mentioned?

Feast your eyes on this… everyone who buys a copy of This Book Has Alpacas and Bears and/or I Don’t Like Books. Never. Ever. The End. from Kenilworth Books will go into their PRIZE DRAW to win this bundle of goodies…

Alonso Alpaca (crocheted by me!), a soft little Alpaca wool scarf and a rose brooch.

And, as an added bonus, Kenilworth Books has a lovely stock of signed book plates to be tucked into each book when you make a purchase. Click here to be taken to their website.

Rkin Parekh, Sharon Davey and me are super excited and chuffed and grateful for all the support we’ve had from Kenilworth Books. Indie bookshops are worth their weight in gold. Do make sure you support them xx

Pssst: all those fabulous photos? Each one was taken by Tamsin Rosewell.
