Revisiting a childhood favourite I used to read with Nini when I was little to close the year's reading challenge.

On one level this is a cute twee story about a little girl stumbling on a launderette run but a hedgehog, where the garments relate to qualities of the animals Lucie met.

But as an adult, its so bizarre, was BP high?! Lucie actually not that likeable, just rocks up to Mrs T's home, scares her and doesn't introduce herself instead she's like "Who are you?" Rude. And Mrs T is kinda nervous and subservient. I want Mrs T to be empowered!

So yeah, cute, weirder than I remembered, not the most empowering of stories. 

Solid tip for people who keep losiytgeir handkerchiefs 🤷🦔

Read this as a bedtime story for my dear friend who is a grown Personâ„¢. Mrs. Tiggy-Winkle is the moment, the girlypop ever. Such a kindhearted motherly figure who washes everyone's laundry at no cost! Oh bless her. Amazing art in this book, captures Mrs. Tiggy-Winkle extremely well. An interesting turn of events at the end as characteristic of Beatrix Potter books, but a good one in my opinion. Rather silly and leaves you with a warm feeling in your heart!
