What is one sentence that has stayed with you after reading it? (Bonus points for including the source.)

@Freeburian @ManchesterUP @jessica_chiba @ShakesInstitute @YLBookshop @TetburyBookFest Highly enjoyable, entertaining and informative. Hope the book reaches a wide audience. Thanks @Freeburian

A fabulous evening talking about my book SHAKESPEARE'S BORROWED FEATHERS @ManchesterUP with @jessica_chiba @ShakesInstitute. Thanks so much to @YLBookshop @TetburyBookFest for having us!

@DanJarvisMBE Richly deserved Dan. Many congratulations. Quality will out.

Honoured to be asked by the Prime Minister to serve as Security Minister. Our national security is the first duty of government. Let's get to work.

@StephenWensley @thehistoryguy Would he become Mel Strode?

@thehistoryguy We’ve got a couple of Typhoons doing loops around our place, don’t know if there is any connection to Mel Stride being expected to be evicted from the seat today

@Josephineperry He's a star

Half term homework is a model of the solar system. Might need to handcuff hubby to prevent him for getting carried away and totally taking over.

Welcome to #SaturdayEduChat What would be the best piece of advice you could give a new headteacherchat using only four words? @PaulGarvey4 @HeadSurrey @chrisdysonHT @smithsmm @ICTEvangelist @CensoredHead @secretHT1 @AshidAli786 @ottleyoconnor @anoara_a @HTMISTERK @HappyHead74

@MrWill_Smith Looking good! Where was this?

Proud dad.

@OcaptainAT Thanks. Likewise!

@MrTaylorTeach I feel your pain. Read this?

@LucyGoBag I'm confused. We in Education thought we were the Blob

@katiematherkm @Al_Humphreys If you're quick there's still time to book a few walks with the Crickhowell Walking Festival @WalkCrickhowell while staying at the Bear @TheBearAtCrick Have a great time wherever you end up

@MrWRuscoe It's clearly in the genes. Congratulations to him.

@MrWill_Smith Looking good!!

Proud dad.

@herdyshepherd1 No more than you deserve. More power to your elbow and your pen.

Just want to say a huge thanks to everyone who has bought and read my books. It’s insane how much love they’ve had and still get - almost every day I get letters from readers, and the sales figures are nuts. A big grateful THANK YOU from me.
