Children’s palliative care has become my area of interest and I think, if anybody can both want to both be at work and want to talk about their job when they’re out of work, that they’re probably working in the right place.

Five years on, I realise I am not going anywhere soon and I simply can’t imagine working anywhere better. Although this is all a little too convenient to be real, somehow Blyton gets away with it and the presence of Kiki isn't as irritating as you might expect.

Working extensively with animated films as reference material, Lucy Jenion’s practice is centred on drawing, painting and photography. Jack and Philip's love of nature let them bond instantly, and I think Lucy-Ann was probably a calming influence on Dinah, and fiery Dinah perhaps rubbed off on Lucy-Ann a little and made her a bit less shy.
