I’m Cara, and I live in Coldstream, in the Scottish Borders As well as writing and illustrating books for children I have recently been painting on canvas, in my octagonal studio (aka The Tardis) which inhabits a corner of the vegetable garden. My work for children has been published in several countries, and translated into different languages. My favourite form at the moment is the picture book, but I have also had published poetry, children’s novels, and illustrations for the work of other authors, and have worked extensively on projects with children. I go out most days with my camera and create blog entries from the results. Some of the pictures I take will be used as background material for the picture book which I am working on at the moment. My son Matty set up this WordPress blog for me, and it has added a dimension to my life which surprises me. It is also interesting and inspiring to read the blogs of other people from different parts of the world, and to look at their sometimes fascinating pictures.

The horse kind of anchors the photograph, even though it is so far away – I took a punt, climbing over a wire fence with the aid of a tree that had fallen across it and tramped through a soggy sheep-dotted field till I could see the house I needed to get to in the distance. I used to live in that house but I never took this route across the fields before. I turned when I got nearly to the lane and took ths photograph, and the horse posed in an obliging manner.
