Dear Nadine
Great point you’re making about music helping people to live well. That’s why the last ten years have seen music cut back in schools. Joining the dots, Nadine!

Well this is a mystery to me. Four apparent first editions of Sylvia’s Travels by Constance Armfield exquisitely illustrated by her brother Maxwell Armfield (1911), two different publishers, four different coloured covers… @Sotherans any ideas please? #books #bookcollecting

Tuning in to @NHM_London talk with @Tweetisaurus and Kate Winslet about the incredible pioneer of Paleontology, Mary Anning. Been reading about her with our daughter and can’t wait to tell her about this. #maryanning #paleontology #fossils
Thank you @Tweetisaurus that was fascinating and inspiring. Can’t wait to get down to Dorset again but also come back to @NHM_London once museums open again.

Do you dream of digging up a dinosaur? Museum scientist @Tweetisaurus shared her career experiences with us, along with some advice for any budding palaeontologists.

These are genuinely brilliant! Just got myself a much needed phone case with a very fine leopard on it. Thom is very talented! #illustration

the most important thing a real, brick-and-mortar bookstore can offer you is the chance to find something you didn't know you were looking for
algorithms choose stuff for you based on who you have been up until now. they struggle to predict who you might be tomorrow
Hi @audibleuk Love using the app and halfway through a book now but the app has taken to pausing for no reason every 30 seconds or so on my iPhone. Any idea why? 😭

A year ago we lost Judith Kerr. In case anyone thinks over-60s are dispensable: she published 10 picturebooks over the age of 80, had her first number 1 bestseller at the age of 93, and with it raised £1.5m for Save the Children's Literacy Fund. And she made every day joyous.
I would argue that access to the language of nature to begin with also has an impact! #thelostwords @lwspellsongs @JackieMorrisArt @RobGMacfarlane Revonnecting with nature 'triggers' eco-actions bbc.co.uk/news/science-envir…
Just watched #therepairshop at Christmas and loved every second. This show might just be my Happy Place... 😊👏👏👏🎅

I have been teaching poetry in primary schools for 44 years. I did a Ph.D. on it, run courses, have written books about it. At no point, has anyone responsible for producing guidelines on poetry in primary education ever spoken to me about it. That's how education 'policy' works.
