For the next week, I’ll be cat sitting again, which means I’m living at mum’s while she’s on holiday. I’ve been tasked with clearing some of my rubbish out of the garage (understandable, as it’s eight years since I moved out), and so today has been spent going through old papers.

I’ve found some very interesting stuff - and some stuff that is so awful it really ought to be shredded right away. One of the more intriguing things, though, was Base 5 Weekly - my first published work. It was the newspaper we made at junior school in the second year, when I would have been eight, and contrary to what the title suggests it only ran to one issue.

I was the editor of the pets news page - page two.

I remember it was put together using the biggest typewriter I had seen in my life, plus scissors, glue and a photocopier. Full-size copies of all four pages of the magazine, including the exciting news of what happened when Keith Chegwin visited our school, can be found here: page 1 / page 2 / page 3 / page 4.
