We're starting the week off with a Hummy Press recommended read ... and it is an absolute classic! 📖

Robert, one half of Hummy PressHummy Press's resident creative team, first read 'The BFG' by Roald Dahl as a child and fell in love with the larger than life characters and creative story. Like much of Roald Dahl's work this book is full of bonkersness, brilliance, delightful details, is emotionally deep and a little dark. If you've not read this book yet then Robert urges you to do so and find out for yourself why it has become such an endearing children's classic.

'The BFG' by Roald Dahl - "One dark, silvery moonlit night, Sophie is snatched from her bed at the orphanage by a giant! Luckily it is the Big Friendly Giant - the BFG - who is no ordinary bone-crunching giant, but instead prefers snozzcumbers and frobscottle to eating children. But there are other giants in Giant Country. And those giants have a plan to gallop far and wide to find some tasty human beans to eat. Can Sophie and the BFG stop them?"

It's nearly the end of the first full week of the new year and already 2026 has been busy at HP HQ! 😃

Not only have we released our new audio story 'Jimmy The Hammerhead The Shark That Stayed In Bed', written by Hummy Press's resident creative team of Hummy Hubbies David and Robert, but David has also been hard at work judging and critiquing new, unproduced TV pilot scripts for the Watersprite Film Festival. 🎥

And things are just going to get busier! We can't wait to tell you about all the projects we currently have in the pipeline when the time is right .. but for now let's just say we're getting the classroom ready for a fantastical re-education you're not going to want to miss! 🧐

We hope you don't use it sporadically! 🤣

It's the start of a new year 🎉 and here at HP HQ we are getting 2026 off to a flying start with the launch of our brand new, free, children's audio story 'Jimmy The Hammerhead The Shark That Stayed In Bed'. 🦈

Written, illustrated and performed by Hummy Press's resident creative team of David Terry and Robert Neave, 'Jimmy The Hammerhead The Shark That Stayed In Bed' is a delightfully soothing bedtime tale for babies and pre-schoolers. Told in gentle rhyming verse this short, poetic lullaby tells the story of Jimmy, a scared hammerhead shark, overcoming his fear of the deep, dark ocean.

It's the last day of 2025, so here at HP HQ we're reflecting on what has been another great year for Robert and David and all at Hummy Press; a year that's been full of much professional success but also personal sadness.

🥰 We published two new, free, audio stories on our website - 'The Vampire Vet, a 'Spookie Dooke' The Eerie Audio' tale and 'Weeba And The Wallbanger!' - adding to our growing story universe.

⭐️ Local shops continued to support us by stocking our titles and we donated some of our books to the opening of a very special local charity shop.

🦸‍♂️ Robert was a featured guest on a podcast where he shared his insights into Hummy Press as well as Robert and David's life as foster carers.

🏆 David won a writing competition and had his play 'God and His best friend the devil' performed at a fantastic theatre.

💔 Sadly David's best friend, Suzie, passed away. We plan to honour Suzie in a very special Hummy Press way in 2026 that we know Suzie would have loved.

😃 We continued to support local creatives including hiring new voice over talent for 'Weeba And The Wallbanger'.

📻 We were featured on BBC radio and talked about our existing Hummy Press projects and teased some fantastic projects yet to come!

🎉 We had our book 'Itch the Witch and a chicken called Chad' on the school curriculum where the story was used by teachers in lessons to help children with their social and emotional development.

🎂 And lastly, but most importantly, we celebrated our 2nd Hummy Press birthday! We're now over two years old and although this year has seen us hit with a few personal set backs, delays and family health issues it is onwards and upwards for 2026 which is going to be the biggest Hummy Press year so far. We have two huge projects planned and more books and more stories are on the way. We'll be sharing more soon ... very soon!

Thank you all for your support in 2025 and here's to 2026 being a great year for us all! 🌈

Only a few days left till the Christmas decorations come down in Dooke. 🎀

Make sure you listen to the 'Spookie Dooke - The Eerie Audio' tale 'Christopher Mee Christmas Tree', for free, before it disappears with the decorations for another year! 🎄

'Snow was falling, the leaves had gone and jingles were in the air.
Christopher Mee flexed his knees and straightened the antlers placed in his hair.
The lighting was right, the music was cued, the props were all in their place.
It was time for his show, with a backdrop of snow, and a smile upon his face.
With plumb and aplomb, Chris acted out his little Christmas play,
for the family and friends gathered to watch, it was the 9th time they'd seen it that day ...'

For those feeling creative this Christmas 🎄 why not see what short story, poem or flash fiction tale can you write inspired by these lyrics from the Darlene Love Christmas classic 'Christmas (Baby Please Come Home).'

"Pretty lights on the tree,
I'm watching them shine.
You should be here with me.
Baby, please come home."
