They are also important indicators of a healthy ecosystem and provide valuable environmental benefits such as pest control and pollination. Common and widespread across the UK, especially in gardens, although there has been a noticeable decline in numbers in recent years. Anne-Marie has written a number of humorous sketches which have been performed by her theatre company, but "Phoebe finds her voice", shortlisted for the inaugural Times/Chicken House Children’s Fiction Competition, is her first novel. I think the latter half was more compelling and I predicted the twist at the end before it came but forgot as the rest of the story unfurled and then it appeared.These books haven’t the will they, won’t they factor between a man and woman at their centre coupled with usual fun and frolics which have become the norm in women’s fiction. A hub of ideas and inspiration for kids’ activities, learning, crafts, and tasty treats they can cook themselves. There were some very heart warming and lovely moments, I'm also a fan of the discussion of Mark Duggan and still how relevant it is in todays current situations. Not last, the neighbour's part in the story is revealed at the end; and again, one would wish it was instead revealed to the characters in the book, rather than the reader. Semi-natural grassland, pasture, arable land, urban parkland and any areas with rough unmanaged grass will all support a variety of butterfly species.

Nina had been told that her father died when she was six months old and that there was no funeral as he had no family and there for Nina had no sense of where she had come from or who he was. Nina hears of the house Keepsake which is now rightfully hers, the question is does she really want it and all that it brings or is she happy to meander along in life a little bit lost and not quite happy with everything going on?This is very different to what I’v read from Harriet before but it was a lovely surprise – a really unusual idea and I enjoyed getting to know all the women of the family. Butterflies may appear to be booming in the short-term but some species’ life cycles risk falling out of sync with the plants that their caterpillars depend upon for food. Hungry large white (and small white) butterfly caterpillars like nothing more than to munch their way through brussels sprouts, cauliflowers, cabbages and kale.
