Word fact of the day: ‘penguin’ is one of the few words in the dictionary of Welsh origin: it comes from ‘pen gwyn’, ‘white head’.
(And a reminder that penguins were also once known affectionately as ‘arsefeet’.)

I'm so pleased to say that the blue plaque for Josephine Tey is now up on Castle Street in Inverness! I've been convinced since writing my biography of her that she deserves more recognition: read the details on my website jennifermoraghenderson.com/2… @sandstonepress @HighlandHousing

This is such a beautiful tribute. At the Penguin Research Network, of which @loweryhannah1 was a founder member & inspiration, we all owe Hannah a huge debt of thanks for her help with our research. No-one knew #Penguin & @PenguinCollSoc minutiae like her. We miss her terribly.

I missed the 40th anniversary of Nikolaus Pevsner's death in August. Pa & I were talking of him last night. More than anyone else, he has been the most influential person in Pa's & my life together. He influenced so many discussions & trips. Thanks, Nikolaus,for every last word.
