Also we got to shout out about food from authors like @NizRite - the sambal and rotis and jackfruit that ignite children's appetites anew!

I'm honoured to share that I've become Chair of the Brontë Society. As the youngest Chair in the Society's history, I'm aware of the significance of being similar in age to Charlotte, Emily, and Anne at the time of their ground-breaking publications, a testament to their legacy.

I don't think any of us realised quite how much we needed a festival like #Sail2024. @csoundar @chitabds and I are so proud of what we've achieved but we're only just getting started. Watch this space!

I've finally had a minute to reflect on all things from our inaugural @SailFestUK event and I still can't quite believe we managed to pull it off. There was so much energy and excitement in the room.
