It's 4 Feb & I'm 22.5km into Dementia UK's Feb 100km challenge. My mum died 'of dementia' last year, not 'with dementia' (more usual) & it was horrible to witness. Donating to this challenge puts 100km & £000s between my mum & a similar end for any of us. fundraise.dementiauk.org/fundraisers/...

It’s lovely to see that Songs of Seven Dials is one of the @londonreviewbookshop.co.uk recommended Christmas gifts. Thank you for the kind words (in the alt-text): they have got me in the festive spirit now. www.londonreviewbookshop.co.uk/collections/... #London #history #20s30s

A screen shot from the LRB bookshop website showing an image of Matt Houlbrook's book Songs of Seven Dials. There is a recommendation from David, one of the shop's managers, which reads: ‘A century ago, Seven Dials, just a few minutes walk from the shop, was a shabby, cosmopolitan working-class district, not quite Bloomsbury, not quite Covent Garden. It was also, as Matt Houlbrook shows in his powerful study, a microcosm for the tensions and conflicts that defined British society then, and continue to define it now.’

"I'll have that" Burglar Bill - a childhood story favourite 🤗 RIP Allan Ahlberg.

A screen shot from the book Burglar Bill by Janet and Allan Ahlberg. The picture is of a striped-ti-shirted old man eating fish and chips. The text reads
"Burglar Bill lives by himself in a tall house full of stolen property. Every night he has stolen fish and chips and a cup of stolen tea for supper. Then he swings a big stolen sack over his shoulder and goes off to work, stealing things"
