My great-nephew, with SMA Type 1, is doing really well after life-saving gene therapy and constant therapies, but his future will be incredibly challenging. To help cater for his ongoing needs, his parents are fundraising: can you spare a little please?

Milestone concert for us tonight, with support from @ChoirWFYV, featuring music by Elgar, Vaughan Williams, Britten and Chilcott 🎶 🏴 Tickets at kidderminsterchoralsociety.c… or on the door. #125years
As I add the finishing touches to my next book, I'm very pleased to say that @scripthavenltd in Worcester has copies of my first one (published, it's hard to believe, in 2010!) in stock at £7.99. All profits to my great nephew's physio fund.

If you love #Venice and especially #Murano, do yourself a favour and read @Tracy_Chevalier's #TheGlassmaker. Her best yet, I reckon, in this wonderful setting and with such mastery of an imaginative and challenging time frame. It was a wrench to say addio to Orsola! 👏
Brilliant work from my very determined little great-nephew!

Lovely browse in @FredsBookshop in Ambleside on holiday last week to spend @book_tokens. Suspect I may need to go back to the #LakeDistrict @tchesshyre @theshepherdswi1
Beatrix Potter's local postbox when she lived at Hill Top, Near Sawrey #PostboxSaturday Fascinating @nationaltrust visit this week.
Highly recommended reading. Prepare to be challenged!
Happy #InternationalWomensDay!
Disabled women are so often invisible in the conversation about women's rights
But I know the ableism I and others face is underpinned by a deep, pernicious sexism that everyone else pretends isn't there
So I wrote a book about it
#IWD #IWD2024
What a great idea @KinverLibrary @StaffsLibraries
📚 Happy World Book Day everyone!📚
Personal highlight… as part of our #LeafLitFest all 6000 children and staff in our fourteen schools were wearing my ‘Ask me what I’m reading’ stickers and sharing all the books they’ve been enjoying - just lovely!
