11yo walked thru the door from school sobbing. A character in his book had died on way home. Amazing power of books 📚#lovereading #bookpower #movingstories

In celebration of #TheDaffTrail, the folks @FOR_Cardiff have asked us to change our name as part of the fun leading up to #StDavidsDay2019. How d’you like it? 🙂🌼

I'd choose one of the women...

‘I’ve just said yes to everything’ @ChefTomKerridge has a bad case of #impostersyndrome - perhaps that’s what makes him so brilliant, constantly striving to believe it was him that had the grit and did the graft

Edward Tulane is in a pickle, said my little boy from the back of the car on the way home from school. #readinginspires #katedicamilli

@PamAyres I loved both your #DesertIslandDiscs -comments you made in your latest one reminded me of the mushroom suit...I thought you may fancy being turned into clean compost one-day https://t.co/XuNYlRuFKh

@BettyJackson_BJ chose to take 50 Years of British Creativity with her when she was #castaway on #DesertIslandDiscs -I found lots of used copies on @Biblio_com which looks like a lovely site that supports independent bookshops https://t.co/SJMkEAX4wM

Well done @laurenlaverne for doing a cracking job on today's #DesertIslandDiscs with @TomDaley1994, not crying at the emotional bits when the rest of us were, and not laughing when he chose Shaggy. 💖👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

@andyjshepherd A grandad would definitely say daft apath. Heard often at my house growing up in Wales

[Pam Ayres MBE @PamAyres]

1/2
I wish I had a Bodyguard to keep me safe from harm,
A manly sort of geezer with a gritty sort of charm,
To stand alert and ready in the corridors of power,
And drive the limo backwards at a hundred miles an hour.

[Pam Ayres MBE @PamAyres]

Don't do it Theresa, don't dance.
Let somebody else have a chance,
You went like a good ‘un
But looked a bit wooden.
Return to a dignified stance.

[Pam Ayres MBE @PamAyres]

You had a happy thirtieth,
That is my fervent hope,
But when they gave you that balloon,
I wish you’d held the rope,
Maybe as it floated up, it caused your guests to titter
But up our eucalyptus tree it’s more unsightly litter.
