Day 8. Another day, another jumper, another poem. It’s a lovely one by Emily Dickinson & I’ve chosen it as Chancellor of University of Chester in honour of the students & former students of our @FhscChester who are using their skills doing their bit so brilliantly in the current crisis.

If you missed BBC Breakfast yesterday morning, our Chancellor, Gyles Brandreth shares the story behind why he is reciting daily poems in his jolly jumpers on social media. At 2:40 Gyles shares a poem by Emily Dickinson for our @FhscChester student nurses. bit.ly/2UIQN2K
