Bloomsbury deliver the proofs – by bicycle

Here we are about to set off. Me looking like the leader of a Girl Guide expedition, Helen, my editor, looking sophisticated and Katie and colleagues looking glamorous and beautiful.

Below Mr Foyles Bookseller takes it in his stride and my absolute favourite photo is Katie Bond, Bloomsbury Publicity Director, cycling alone in hat amid the London buses. I had lots of fun – thank you Bloomsbury xx
