Just finished ‘Between the Lies’ by Louise Tickle. A thriller that shines much-needed light on family courts. 👏

In three weeks I have the absolute privilege of interviewing the legendary wildlife cameraman and Strictly Winner Hamza Yassin about his new book on birdwatching - Hay Festival Winter Weekend.
Tickets sold out but you can still watch online. Can’t wait!
