The COMEBACK is on......

So 2023 has been a complete write-off for us here in the Badger’s sett… for a whole host of reasons, some personal to us and some that you’ll all be familiar with (rising costs etc). In short it has been our Annus Horribilis.

 

But…

 

We are COMING BACK… of this I am determined! 

 

Exactly what, where and how are still to be fleshed out and fully determined - but please, watch this space in early 2024 for more details!

 

Lastly, I'd like to wish you and yours a wonderful festive season, and let’s hope 2024 is an absolute beaut!!

 

See you on the other side mi ducks!!

Step Forward, Harry Salt by Ross Lowe

ISBN: 9781838199531

£10

 

Something strange is afoot in the Derbyshire hills. But what does that mean for Harry Salt? He’s a young man with a big secret. So big, that the Prime Minister wants a piece of him.

Trouble is, it’s such a deeply buried secret that Harry doesn’t even know about it.But when he starts his new job at the Ministry of People and the anxious UK prepares for The Change, things get steadily more strange and frightening.

Dreams filled with painful memories and snarling black dogs. Endless ham baguettes. A 900-year-old Starsky & Hutch addict. Murderous lollipop ladies and milkmen that bite.

Yes. Something is definitely up.

It’s time to Step Forward, Harry Salt.
