I write books for children and I live in lovely Wales

My pork pie from the Co-op says it's of 'Geographic Origin.' What on earth does that mean? I think you should do better than that, Co-op

@simonmontefiore Oh dear - I am trying to get rid of books from my flat, but then I see books like this that I've just Got To Have...

@PreRaphSoc @KebleOxford The eyes are Christina Rossetti's

@JennyMitchellGo the poetry boat will come back. Just look elsewhere for a bit.

[frances thomas @francesbooks]

@ianduhig He's been doing it to me for two weeks. I do not want to write this poem! He says, you have to! But I can't! Tough luck, lady.

@JaneSymons1 When to a demotion that, in 1971, when husband rather
babysit for to it. Good fun.

@arthistorynews @j_amesmarriott Sir Kenneth is surprisingly watchable - you think he's going to be just a posh toff with a funny voice - but it's still very good.

[frances thomas @francesbooks]

@PoetSarahDoyle @womenwritersnet Your comments on my work were always thoughtful and really helpful.

[frances thomas @francesbooks]

@RevRichardColes I remember in Boston Mass, there was a bus going to 'Wonderland.'

@nmgarrard can you not get a second opinion on the portfolio? Even if the particular examiner did not like her style this is very much not D- work (Ilove it, by the way)

[frances thomas @francesbooks]

@arthistorynews @RichardBratby It certainly did. But the really great ones survive. It ruined Keats for several years for me, but he's come back.

@adelegeras @fugitiveink He'll ramble away more than you can imagine! I love the Rector.

[frances thomas @francesbooks]

@adelegeras yes

[frances thomas @francesbooks]

@PoetSarahDoyle congratulations!

[frances thomas @francesbooks]

@AmandaPCraig Yes, I think we may have had this discussion before. As you can see, I'm still annoyed that something which could have been so good just turned into a family joke at silly old mum's expense. Not all good intentions work.

[frances thomas @francesbooks]

@stephenkeeler I'm in the process of doing this now - getting rid of most of my stuff before a move to the city. It's dispiriting, but I'll be glad when it's done.

[frances thomas @francesbooks]

@lucyinthepie @Ryanair Oh! Hope you're sorted by now. xxxx

Romantic poet #JohnKeats died #OTD in 1821.

On his death, Keats and his work looked sure to be forgotten. Why is his poetry now so well-loved?
