I am happy to announce the arrival of the latest member of the Spoon Family, our cat. We have created the cat because I was asked, when I did the Young Authors Conference at Baranoff Elementary School, Austin, TX, if we could have a cat and not just a dog. He will be named by the student who asked for him. So watch this space.
So now they all look like this when together:
A question from Harper B. from Baranoff Elementary.
“Do you have a Spoon bird”?
I am sorry to say Harper, we do not. If one was created, what would you call it?
Danielle D from Baranoff Elementary asked ” Do you know all the words of British English?”
The fun of speaking English from two different countries.
I definetly speak British English, although American English is creeping in- for example I now say ‘I am popping to the store” instead of ” I am popping to the supermarket”
The problem with living in Texas and speak British English is that many words do not translate across so well. So I have created lots of cool images that let you know the words in American English and British English. In the back of my cookbooks, I also have a list of any words I have used that you might need the American word for. Check out my facebook and twitter accounts to see the definitions from UK – USA. It has been a fun journey.
Thank you for the question.
