The lovely @WELBooks will be sending out signed and dedicated copies of Welcome to the Neighbourhood. Out Jan 15. Preorder here: welbooks.co.uk/shop/p/welcome… #WelcomeToTheNeighbourhood

@squizzy36 It’s great

@JaneFallon I like this song. I can't understand why I like these crazy nuts? But I do... 😝

How did I not know this came out the same day as This Life? The mid 90s really were something special.

@DBRacingUK Me neither 😬

@JaneFallon I was just listening to it on here. A live performance came up. 1996 was great for music. I know nothing in the charts now 🙈

@craigbo82886735 Tell her thank you!

@JaneFallon Wise decision if i remember correctly. My wife is a big fan of your novels.. she asked me to tell you

30 years ago today our little show first went out …

@craigbo82886735 No, I was leaving TV to write novels by then

@JaneFallon Jane—- sorry for interrupting during This Life but just a question. Did you have anything to do with This Life + 10???

@MyUltimatePlace @BLuisaW It is already 👍

@JaneFallon @BLuisaW OOh will this be on Audible Jane?

@lindamayruss Thank you!

@JaneFallon Love all your books, but this one is the best yet, couldn't put it down.

Ooh look! Welcome to the Neighbourhood is number 5 in the Kindle charts today bit.ly/4saZpMF

@Ste_Jones75 Amazing

@JaneFallon Loved this! So much in fact I bought the companion guide.

@annainjozi I went to uni to do law because of a TV Show (The Paper Chase). Disaster.

@JaneFallon absolutely iconic. almost made me want to be a lawyer.

@purbrooktony This is the This Life terrace

@JaneFallon I walk that way to work at the moment so I'll take a look. Thanks. Have you ever walked down Roupell road near Waterloo, it's like going back in time. I only discovered it recently and It's my favourite part of London now. 😁

@purbrooktony I haven’t! I’m a sucker for those Georgian/Victorian terraces

@purbrooktony I think they kept the facade of the terrace and built something new on the back. It's immediately (almost) south of Southwark bridge on Southwark Bridge Road.

@JaneFallon Is the house still there. I love visiting filming locations?

@PeterEgan6 @rickygervais @missdianemorgan @HouseofCommons @CBTHunting Fabulous, the pair of you

.⁦⁦@rickygervais⁩ great to be with ⁦@missdianemorgan⁩ at ⁦@HouseofCommons⁩ last night she spoke superbly in support of @CBTHunting reminding us & Govt that banning the import of body parts from Trophy Hunting is supported by over 80% of the British Public

@burtlebird Yes, they're repeating it all

@JaneFallon Aha, actually looks like it might be on iplayer later today 😁

@jos_ritzerfeld I did a few after this, but not for a long time. I much prefer writing books.

@JaneFallon never had the urge to produce a tv show again?

@54marcy Thank you 😊

@JaneFallon Loved it , but always love your books. Take care of yourself 💐

@Lucyspeed 😘

@JaneFallon I loved it. As ever! Bravo you! X

@CathyGarside @JoannaCannon I love him.

@JaneFallon @JoannaCannon Such a darling! This is my cherished Zimmet, given to me at the age of two. His name is what I replied immediately upon being asked what his name would be & I made his shoes at about the age of 9. He's never worn anything but dresses xxx

To avoid dealing with my emotions, I've thrown myself into a project instead (because why change the habit of a lifetime) and I decided to clear out the giant workshop next to my house. So backstory: When I was little, I had two 'important' teddy bears: Gold Ted and White Ted. Gold Ted is still sitting safe & sound, and watching over me, but White Ted disappeared years ago and I never knew where she went. I've thought about her a lot over the years and I always hoped I'd stumble across her again one day. As I've been clearing out the workshop, she's been on my mind. I've been tempted to look inside every bag of old clothes and blankets I've hauled out, just in case she might be hiding in one of them, but I told myself not to be silly (it would have doubled the time it's taken if I'd searched through every bag). Yesterday, when I *finally* reached the back wall, there was a cardboard box. I opened it to have a quick look inside, in case it was anything important, and there staring up at me, was White Ted. I just burst into tears. I can't believe I found her again after all these years. I know it's ridiculous at my age to be crying over a teddy bear, but she played such a big role in my childhood. Now she's back and reunited with Gold Ted, and I could not be happier. Nothing in that workshop has upset me so far ... but an old, battered teddy bear with one ear and one eye, tipped me over the edge. And maybe (just maybe) throwing yourself into a project is the best way of dealing with your emotions after all.
