I knew the name, but I didn't know the story until we recorded this Rosebud conversation. It's powerful & moving, and even if you don't even know the name, it's well worth listening to on @therosebudpod or watching on YouTube on the Rosebud podcast channel. Out today & remarkable

More Rosebud. This is a powerful one. Fascinating. Unexpected. Entertaining. Disturbing. Worth listening to whether or not you yet know anything about Dylan Jones.

My kind of day - recording an episode of More Rosebud with my friend & producer Harriet Jane. Plus guest. It drops halfway through the night & is well worth staying up for. But if you can wait until morning, do. Tomorrow night, it'll be on YouTube too. https://t.co/wY6TJfaHPR

Jacqueline Wilson tells @GylesB1 that when she met her partner Trish in her 50s, she discovered that love is less about gender and more about finding someone who's on the same wavelength as you.

Hear the full story of how the pair met and fell in love in this week's Rosebud.

I did my best to give my all.

(Voice from bathroom: “You gave far too much!”)

@IainDale Remember me to the great man, please!

Christmas isn't Christmas without... the turkey being thrown across the room in a furious rage.

Listen to the full episode to hear Jacqueline tell @GylesB1 more about her parents' difficult relationship and how it made her a better writer.

When I Was A Lad
By Mark Graham

Growing up in days gone by
Involved a scrape or two
Fingers whacked in conker games
And bumps, I had a few
But social media’s changed all that
The current little tykes
Spend all their time on mobile phones
And live their lives for likes

[Gyles Brandreth @GylesB1]

@SFTOCA Yes!

A gala dinner tonight in the Ashdown Forest in honour of Winnie-the-Pooh. Guests had travelled from Winnipeg & Minnesota & Waterloo. Inevitably, I said a few words. ("Not few enough,” according to Michele.)

[Gyles Brandreth @GylesB1]

The view from here. I’ll explain later.

[Gyles Brandreth @GylesB1]

@SirTimRice We will be the judges of that.

A wonderful evening at the British Library with the Royal Literary Fund celebrating the centenary of Winnie the Pooh. In the best company, my friend Alan played Eyore for us brilliantly and I led the singing of "Happy Birthday Winnie the Pooh." 🎈

Children's writer Jacqueline Wilson tells @GylesB1 about the time her first boyfriend, who was a trainee hairdresser, tried out his new-found skills on her - with disastrous results. On Rosebud we love to hear these stories from childhood and adolescence - we've all been there.

[Gyles Brandreth @GylesB1]

Great cake, too!
