My flatmate Poppy is just coming to the end of her degree in costume design.

She’s in the final few weeks of her course and has been busy making some amazing outfits. As a result the castle has been awash with dressmaking pins.…

I’ve mentioned before how much I’ve always enjoyed drawing, and how tricky it’s become more recently because of my arm tics.

Despite this, I’ve been doing a lot of drawing recently, mainly for ‘Welcome to Biscuit Land,’ a book about my life that’s going to be published later this year.…

A while back my friend Laura Page, a freelance photographer and journalist, interviewed me about having Tourettes and my life as a superhero. She had some interest in her piece but it all went quiet and I didn’t hear anymore…

This evening along with Fran, Claire and Poppy I went to watch my friend Ruth perform. She’s a singer and along with five other people with Tourettes she showcased her talent at tonight’s event – Tourettes Live in London.

Following the success of our amazing 2 Bears track give away a couple of weeks ago, I’m very excited to be offering another totally exclusive track today, in the lead up to our launch event on Thursday 27th.

Al Tourettes, who’ll also be playing at the launch, has created a truly hypnotic and infectious track based around my, ‘You have a 1990s face’ tic.…

Yesterday we took delivery of a new Touretteshero T-shirt and tote bag which will be on sale soon in our shop. We teamed up with the excellent and ethical THTC to produce these great items, both of which feature tic-inspired illustrations.…
