Why now you ask?


I have decided that now would be a good time to start a blog.
Actually, I decided that a while ago would be a good time but kept getting stuck. Don’t get me wrong, I have contributed to blogs now and again, and some people have been very kind with their feedback, but I have never been organised enough to get a domain name with relevant bloggage and establish something worthwhile.

So today I am taking the plunge. Diving in. Taking off the armbands and seeing whether I can swim. Waving not drowning, hopefully.

As I’ve explained in my first post, the youngest child[i] has decided that as I have now retired from the hustle and bustle of the world of work that I should knuckle down as an author. Not just any author but an awesome one. As you will discover this is an aspiration rather than a statement of fact! 

However, I hope with your help, your feedback on our stories, your suggestions for future ones as well as your contributions (ideas and illustrations) that together we might become truly awesome.

Woole and McClaw - Invest-eggation over - case closed

So did you guess whodunnit? I won't spoil it if you haven't been following the egg-citing weekly goings on at Foghorn Farm, you can read the whole story below . Now that we have reached the end of the Great Eggscape, I thought it might be fun to think how we could bring the story to life. If you could pick actors to play the characters who would you choose? I was thinking Jason Statham or Idris Elba for Woolfe, and what about Sanjeev Kohli or Martin Compston playing McClaw?? And who would make a great Frank Fox, Henrietta Hensworth or Sebastian Shuttlecock...? Obviously it will up to Pixar or Disney to decide, but please retweet with your ideas! Woolfe and McClaw are now off for a well earned rest. Lockdown is being lifted so where will their adventures take them next.....? Woolfe & McClaw: The Great Eggscape     WARNING: This story contains eggs-crutiating egg puns!   Chapter 1 – Agents scramble to the rescue   The phone rang. In his eagerness,...

Woolfe and McClaw - The Great Egg-scape (Flashback Chapter)

Hi Folks Woolfe and McClaw are back again this week. Its time to meet the Prime Suspect - Frank Fox. Dave and Frank go back a long way. This week we find out how far they go back and whether this will have any bearing on the invest-eggation. We still need to bring our characters to life - perhaps not quite as life like as these photographs, so please send more of your brilliant pics.   Chapter 6 – Fifteen years ago eggs-actly (The Flashback Chapter)   Dave and Frank were not exactly friends, nor were they enemies. They just happened to go back a long way, but through a number of circumstances had ended up on different sides of the law. Dave and Frank met while they were in the S A S (Special Animal Service), serving together in Afghanistan and Iraq. When Dave left the military and retuned to Civvy street, he was able join the police, while Frank had suffered post traumatic stress disorder, and wasn’t able to adjust to life after forces, despite a lot of help from Veteran...

Woolfe and McClaw - Poached Eggs

Earlier this week, Woolfe and McClaw hit the street. Your feedback has been amazing - thank you so much. Even more amazing has been your fantastic drawings. On this blog we've picked the amazing and very different images submitted by Rachel (8) and Imogen (13).  We love the very cool trainers that Rachel has given Brian and we have no idea how Imogen made her very creative digital images -I am very jealous of her technical ability!  What do you think Woolfe and McClaw look like?  Having been called in to investigate the egg robbery at Foghorn Farm, our intrepid duo begin to speak to potential witnesses to this dastardly crime. In Chapter 2 we meet the Hensworths, a rooster called Sebatian and several chickens..... We would love to see your pics as the story unfolds - whether its our star detectives or some of the new characters . As before you can send them to woolfeandmcclaw@outlook.com or to @killick_alex on twitter. #woolfeandmcclaw #storiesmatter #writeforgood Chapt...
