Delighted to have made it into TMR with an article on @ReadingSylvia's 'A Love Match', a short story I can never give up thinking about.

These days, home isn’t so much where we start from as where we’ve ended up. Permeable walls, haunted squares, stuff, sticky burrs and WAY. TOO. MANY. existential questions (or is it just the right amount?) TMR is proud to present its Staying at Home issue! https://t.co/TL7AHsqpNc

Original pen and ink drawing by Edward Bawden for a chapter heading for Good Foodby Ambrose Heath. First published by Faber & Faber in 1932, Good Food contains a chapter for every month of the year, and features cover artwork and illustrations by Edward Bawden. The image is of two children hunting for strawberries under bird netting. It is based on the walled kitchen garden in Bridge End Garden, Saffron Walden.
Ambrose Heath (born Francis Geoffrey Miller 1891 – 1969) was one of the most celebrated food and drink writers of his day, and Good Food launched a prolific series of recipe collections and books on food from the 1930s through to the 1970s.
June for jubilation! For now Mother Earth almost embarrasses us with her riches, and the gastronomic year enters upon its most glorious stage.
You will find a selection of Ambrose Heath’s cookery books on show in the exhibition Fry’s Popular Delights on now at the Fry Art Gallery until Sunday 25th October.

Great round-up of new children's books, *all* of which the wonderful @EssexLibraries have immediately available to reserve, for FREE. Flying the flag for all the treasures. @frankcottrell_b @BacklistedPod

[Prof. Pragya Agarwal @DrPragyaAgarwal]

Watched Turning Red with two 5-yr olds who loved it & now even more baffled at the outrage by those parents who thought this film to be too mature & inappropriate for young children. If you’re uncomfortable with sex and periods your kids would be too.

The historian Mary Bateson wrote ‘there is not one way, but rather there are many ways of telling a nation’s story’, and ‘of the lives of women, outside nunneries and outside courts, there is little recorded.’ @Newnham_College #WomenAtCambridge

My son has a theory that, in famous double acts, it's the one who is normally pictured on the left that dies first. I reckon it's more 50:50

@curiouscroquet We've loved the Meet the Twitches series and now Pippa Curnick's Indigo Wilde which is fantastic!
