Since becoming a parent of a school-aged child, this definitely feels more and more like the bad place. How will this help anyone?

I am visiting the BL tomorrow for RESEARCH & to look at a MANUSCRIPT. After a year of maternity leave, then taking time to start a new business, this feels EXCITING (& worthy of caps).
Can anyone advise on the situation for ordering books/MS in reading rooms? Last visit, it was still paper slips.

Thinking this morning about the importance of writing, reading, creative practice. Not only do the stories we tell have political power, writing allows us to reconnect with parts of ourselves and subverts the noise we've all gotten so used to.
Wishing everyone a quiet moment this weekend.

The world feels heavy. I am wading back to myself after a month of nursery and reception settling. BUT, there are archival visits on the horizon. There are still little stories to be told.
Please tell me: what things are you looking forward to this autumn?

This makes me think of Exit West by Mohsin Hamid, when the travellers end up trapped in a mansion in West London with angry protestors outside. Unfortunately, these asylum seekers don't have a magical door they can slip through to escape this hostility (so wish they did).

My favourite thing to do with my young children is go to the library. It follows that when travelling we would do the same. Hence, my babies spent the afternoon in the Oval at the Bibliotheque Nationale, reading and napping and occasionally screeching.

At least the author of this 18th c poem on insomnia didn't have to contend with doomscrolling (or Coldplay).

Sometimes, when the world feels like a bin fire and you've been on maternity leave for approximately 4,000 months, you need a little Jane Austen conference. As a treat.
Absolutely cannot wait for next weekend ♡

Happy solstice. Woke up thinking about this essay from my little swimming #chapbook. I hope everyone has a chance to enjoy the light and heat today and hopefully go for a swim.

Please can I recommend taking your baby abroad on the train? It is a joyful experience. Even if you have a wild baby, even if the French have few high chairs or changing tables. Even if the stone staircases in the accommodation don't have gates. Even if a squirming baby on a train is tricky (1/2)

Decided to update my profile photo with my British Library bathroom selfie, feeling glam in ladies on the 1st floor before giving my talk at Birkbeck tonight.
Definitely good to talk manuscripts and methodology and have a night away from the babies.

We're watching a 1984 episode of Sesame Street with our almost 4 year old, he's delighted by it and my husband and I both remember bits of the programme. Such a wonderful and diverse and funny programme. Sad that there's been recent threats to the show's continued funding.
