Excited to get a copy of The Dention Diaries: Worse than Jail by Sam Copeland which I am helping Bloomsbury put a schools tour together for this autumn. If any schools, teachers, librarians or other educators would like an event do get in touch to find out more.

Have had a lovely day visiting Lake Windermere. We took a boat to Bowness and visited The World of Beatrix Potter which was a particularly nice way to spend the morning.

🚨 NEW EPISODE🚨 What happens when archaeology disagrees with the written story? 🏺📜 In this episode of History Rage, Professor Nick Higham explores how physical evidence challenges the idea of a decisive British victory at Badon. Instead of a dramatic turning point, the past looks far more gradual, complex, and unpredictable than the legends suggest. 🎧 Listen now #HistoryRage #Archaeology #BritishHistory #MedievalHistory #HistoryPodcast @yalebooks

Heading off on holiday, wondering if I can get all of these books into my luggage or a couple might have to be left behind? Also should I take a book I have already started of leave it for when I get back and take a new book? Decisions, decisions...

Catching up on press after my holiday, always nice to send authors a review like this. Stephen Sondheim by Daniel Okrent review – a superb biography of the musical master theguardian.com/books/2026/m…

Packed with gossip and incident, this book is also a fascinating study in the gestation of genius

Thanks to the tube strike, travelling a different way to work and discovered this road on my long walk to the train station. Following in the footsteps of the poets apparently!
