Today, a bronze statue of Hodge sits on a dictionary beside oyster shells outside Johnson’s former home in Gough Square.

It’s dark and stormy out there, so I’ve made a batch of nutmeg and olive oil shortbread and put the kettle on. Homemade biscuits, a pot of tea and no intention of going anywhere. Sending a little warmth from my cosy corner to yours. Stay safe and snug!

ALT A fluffy black cat rests with closed eyes on a wooden shelf, its front paws and long tail dangling over the edge. Books sit to its left and a trailing potted plant to its right. Against a soft pink, purple and blue background, white handwritten text reads: “I have a soft spot for humans who make little beings feel safe.”
