To ‘ultra-crepidate’ (19th century) is to lecture others on subjects you know very little about.

Going for an “any time” train ticket because understanding what constitutes “off peak” requires an expert knowledge of advanced calculus, economics, law and philosophy.

Whale on the Wharf by Jason Klimoski and Lesley Chang. A stunning new installation at Canary Wharf, made from five tonnes of plastic waste pulled out of the ocean.

Fabulous exhibition of Ladybird books at Peterborough Museum. I remember so many of these titles.

If you're anywhere near Peterborough, I strongly recommend visiting The Longest Yarn at the cathedral. A stunning 80m long display of knitted and crocheted scenes of the D-Day landings. The attention to detail is incredible. It's really quite moving.

On World Book Day, here are the six books that I've read so far this year. They were all good reads, but I especially recommend Nightwatching.

I really enjoyed looking round the Stained Glass Museum in Ely today. It's fantastic to be able to get up so close to these beautiful pieces.

The Coat of Hopes at Ely Cathedral. A patchwork coat made, worn and walked by hundreds of people during its pilgrimage through the UK.

I thoroughly recommend September 5. It built the tension right from the first few minutes and it kept me gripped to the end.

So the secret is out. The ITV team that made Mr Bates vs the Post Office has been making a drama about the phone-hacking scandal. Featuring David Tennant as Nick Davies. And Mr Bates himself (aka Toby Jones) as me. An altogether less heroic role for Toby, but he’s brilliant as always
