Flying through my holiday reading - all excellent. #unhelpfulbookreviewer

The sun rises over Gaios

Hello from Paxos :)

Love after Love by Derek Walcott ❤️

This is beautiful and heartbreaking and I love it. Wendy Cope’s poem An Afternoon

The double-sided ’mix tape’ my daughter,Iris, has made for her friend ❤️. Love that she is geeky enough in the age of the download to lovingly write this out (she spent hours agonising over her choices too) - good eclectic tastes too ;)

Beautiful Suffolk ❤️

So long and thank you Marrakech- I’ll be back #travel #EduSky

Good morning. Still on teacher time, but what a place to wake up in! @teachersky #travel #booksky #teachers #Marrakesh

What a terrific book this is. Everett is the absolute master of balancing the weightiest and most important of issues with scintillating whit, lightness of touch and jaw-dropping cleverness.

Greetings from Marrakesh

Difficult to overstate how much I loved this book. Moving, eccentric, sad, hilarious and peculiarly British in the best sense. Thank you @backlisted.bsky.social for the tip and @willhodgkinson.bsky.social for this life affirming book and - though I know you don’t do social media, thank you Lawrence

This is so good. Festen vibes.
