The Somerset Farmhouse of 1 North Street, Williton were approached by a "food influencer" that wanted to charge them £2,000 for a review.

They put out a video of Sally eating a sausage roll instead 😆.

Lets make Sally and the Somerset Farmhouse famous for free.

Love this story. I think it was this i wrote a couple of articles inspired by our then 3-year old for Prima Baby. Tomorrow he takes his final exam in third year of University.

Well done @RoyalMail - took a mere 19 years to deliver this magazine. Inconvenience? Well the kids have now left home ….

@GeoffNorcott Great gig! Hope you made it back to the Travelodge safely.

A long time ago, in what seems a galaxy far, far away (early #parenthood) i wrote a piece about my then 4-year old talking about #starwars. It led to being asked to write over 200 Distracted Dad columns for a #brighton magazine https://t.co/e9GgG28uRv #maythefourth #starwarsday

@BarrieEditor1 Hi Jen, this is such sad news. I never met your Dad but Roy of The Rovers was such a big part of my childhood, and your Dad was so gracious with his time and so accommodating when i interviewed him for an article i was writing ten years or so ago about football in other media

My wife just said something about her book preferences and it reminded me of this…

[Richard Hearn @latestdad]

Remembering randomly that time when my wife said her favourite type of crime drama was when the victim was male in their late 40's, early 50's as she doesn't then find it too upsetting.

Reader, I am 51.

I’m on a podcast wittering on about Paragraph Planet

[Paragraph Planet @paragraphplanet]

If any Paragraph Planet contributors are not following the @failingwriters podcast, this is an ideal time to start. The excellent and funny Tom & Jon discuss writing goals, plus I attempt to string sentences together in an interview about Paragraph Planet https://t.co/otR1IKpCFx
