If you're looking for a perfect Halloween class book for Y5/6 that can be read in a week, you won't do better than The Last Day of October by Phil Hickes. Creepy and atmospheric, with a fantastic cliffhanger at the end of each chapter. @oriolvidal.bsky.social @barringtonstoke.bsky.social

Heavens...if that's how a 'British Citizen' responds then why on earth would anyone want to pretend to be one??

Love this outfit on Daniel Day-Lewis. DDL has a reputation for being a real clothes nerd, having studied bespoke shoemaking under Stefano Bemer, knowing his way around Savile Row, and getting guernseys from little-known makers. He wears his own clothes to photoshoots.
