Many thanks to @QuercusBooks for this much anticipated proof. I was hoping for a copy but I didn’t expect my favourite cocktail and some everlasting ice! @ellygriffiths #TheFrozenPeople

Replying to @agirlcalledTom @BookshopMike
We popped next door to the tiny St Peter's to see the merman font and got a free masterclass of Orlando De Lassus motets from 3 singers from the Cambridge Early Music Consort. Absolutely breathtaking. They are there each Thursday

so my @CricketScotland shirt has arrived and boy is it a BEAUTY 😍 HOWEVER @graynics have set me a challenge. They’ve said if I get 100 retweets on this tweet then they’ll send me the @KNCBcricket shirt to match the bucket hat! 🤩 Can we make it happen?! 👀

Forgot to get over-priced flowers or a tokenistic card for Valentine's Day? Just pop into your local bookshop and buy them a book instead - something chosen just for them - that means a whole lot more.
