Appreciate the invitation and thoughtful discussion Dave!

Very kind words from Dave and a lovely discussion of the book!

Thanks so much Dave!

This is an amazing book. That everyone should read!

This is brilliant! Thanks Matt! We were walking Addison and occasionally Shelley with a little Zoe quite often.

Beautiful cover! Congrats Tom!

Very much looking forward to reading this!

Thanks Zoë! That sounds like such a great angle-happy to chat if useful and hope alls well!

The 3-month consultation is open to everyone with a view: parents carers young people those who work with children civil society organisations academics industry

The social media consultation is live www.gov.uk/government/n... Not read the whole thing yet, but I'm *very interested* in the fact that it is positioned as a public consultation, not just a policy one

Oooh that sounds like a great piece!

Goals.

Did I mention the article was open access?!

Love it.

A sigh?

And we're back! Staff at the BL are great, minimal grumbling amongst academics, very much enjoyed going out of a different door in HUM1 and seeing the back stairs ((FUN!), nobody slipped on the treacherous courtyard, and the rain pretty much stopped. Long live the BL.

Controversial queue rearranging going on but lo, it is to keep us dry!

Also I did not know the BL has an unofficial cat named Daisy. She's lovely and obviously immediately exited with loud noises. Or the en masse petting collective that are academics.

Alarm off and we can go back in (yay!). Security guards asking vainly for an ordered queue. All the Brits rush to the back.

Men with skills have arrived.

Someone researching SO HARD sparks fly.
