I'm so delighted with @HelloSerifim's design for my book - I'm sure it will help it fly.
Here it is! The front cover for @CathBarton1's In the #SweepoftheBay, designed for us by the talented Jennie @HelloSerifim. Cath and I are delighted with it. Once again Jennie has worked her magic... #CoverReveal #bookcover

Ever needed proof of the healing power of music? @bengoldscheider took up the french horn age 9 having been diagnosed with an incurable lung condition. 10 yrs later, he’s now an internationally acclaimed horn player & hasn’t had to go near a hospital for 6 years.

Dear councils, 97% of UK meadows are gone. So please: if you have wildflowers like ox-eye daisies on roadverges and in public spaces, don't spray them with weedkiller or over-mow them. Let's give pollinating insects like bees and butterflies a chance 🐝

That's the way to behave. Take note @BorisJohnson

As it seems we're all still talking about milkshake, it's time to retweet my favourite Mary Anning cartoon. (Hark! A Vagrant by @beatonna).

Okay everyone, we have an idea, so thread!
Recently, since Know Your Place really, we've found ourselves in the position of being frequently approached by early career writers in need of support, advice, and opportunities.

Listened to interviewer Harrumphing about his commute being inconvencied by climate protesters this morning and couldn't help but think of the parents in Not Now Bernard busily fussing about housework while the monster ate their son.
ALT There's a monster. "Now now Bernard".
