Hear the truth. Pen Farthing was accused of putting pets before people during the evacuation of Afghanistan. Nothing could be further from the truth. Come hear the man himself tell you what really happened.

I can always tell when I'm editing a manuscript if the author is a reader or not. In no instance, has the non-reader produced a superior work.
Ironically, I can't really put it into words how I know or what the difference is. I just do know.

Join us tonight at #Clapham Omnibus to discuss #digitalsafety #smartphones and the internet. And how best to protect ourselves and our children.
Australia has banned #socialmedia for under 16s (which I quite like as a solution). Should we?
Schools are banning phones altogether. Should families?

Does Australia have the answer to digital safety for children: ban it until the age of 16. So it's like cigarettes and alcohol. IIlegal but youngsters can occasionally scoff it.

Here are 3 tips but are they enough? Join us to discuss #digitalsafety at #ETNA community centre in #Twickenham Nov 6 at 7pm.
1. talk to your kids about the internet
2. actually sit with your kids and go through it with them
3. invite other kids over to game and play
Is that enough?

I have two very confused poppies in bloom in a garden that has gone to sleep for the winter. I don't know what to do. Wrap a blanket around them? Cut them for a nice bouquet? Celebrate climate change because now flowers bloom in November? Any advice?
