Cakes and light refreshments served all day.

Zozo Thomas lives in Swindon where she shares her large garden with her cat, chickens and a variety of wildlife. Her illustrated children's books, based on the plants and animals in a fictional version of her own garden, are fun for all the family. Read the story and colour the words and images as you go. Zozo will be reading extracts from her latest book, Buzz Bee Me. www.thomzodesigns.co.uk
