Everyone’s just sitting around eating sandwiches on the Henry Moores(!). It’s like a little paradise - amazing exhibitions inside as well… The whole place is stunning. Just 45 minutes from Copenhagen Central.

No cheating. Your last saved celebrity photo is your therapist. Who is it?

Allan and Janet Ahlberg were astonishing - a gift to young readers and parents. Funny, silly, clever, endlessly enjoyable. What a legacy!

Really bad at actually putting up work stuff but just to say that I’m very happy to be on the shortlist for the Rhys Davies Short Story competition.

Excellent day @hayfestival.bsky.social with youngest child hearing Simon Armitage talk about nature writing and @robinince.bsky.social interviewing Dr Gina Rippon about the autistic female mind. Brilliant sessions both.

Proper sushi has arrived in Barry, South Wales. We’ve gone full hipster. It’s practically the end times.

Went to see The Undertones at the Tramshed, Cardiff. They were great. Really excellent, brilliantly performed, fun gig. Touring all summer. Highly recommended.

Went to Housemates at Sherman Theatre in co-production with Hijinx. It’s a play with music based on the true story of how institutional care for people with a learning disability was challenged and ended in Cardiff. Superb piece of theatre - loud, funny, joyous - touring Wales starting next week.
