I’ve waited so long for this book and not only is it finally here, but I also got to spend the evening @bodleianlibs listening to @PhilipPullman read a passage or two. What an absolute treat. Teenager me and adult me are both chuffed.

Two lives were saved, and a baby was ‘born’ twice⬇️
Following a diagnosis of ovarian cancer during a routine ultrasound scan, Lucy Isaac had life-changing surgery to remove an ovarian tumour 21 weeks into her pregnancy - lifting her womb out of her body, with her baby inside.

Today is #SwallowAwarenessDay2025. We're raising awareness of dysphagia, which means difficulties with eating, drinking or swallowing. Dysphagia can be life-threatening.
#HCPCregistered speech and language therapists provide help in many ways. A great resource from @rcslt 👏
