A wonderful session PaisleyBookFest listening to the fascinating Andrew O Hagan talk writing. That could have gone on all afternoon. #pbf2024

A fascinating afternoon talking to Sara Sheridan and Dr Lesley McDowell. Two women overflowing with great ideas and brilliant chat. PaisleyBookFest #PBF2024

Such a nice day I’m tempted to take these two to the park to prep for PaisleyBookFest this time next week. Lots to ask Dr Lesley McDowell and Sara Sheridan.

First book launch I’ve done where the dogs get a bigger cheer than the author. You can see why. Thanks Waterstones Glasgow for having me on board.

This is such a blow. I really feel for the team, and the many writers and storytellers who will suffer as a result of this.

Congratulations Shane Strachan. More than happy to ‘bide a wee mintie’ in these pages.

There’s so much to enjoy in this interview and its heart it’s just two beautiful voices being interesting and lovely. bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0…

Our theme tonight is ‘songs that would make great novels’ and someone has suggested mary Chapin Carpenter Mrs Hemingway. It’s a thing of beauty. My song of the show. #WorldBookDay

This is so very sad. He was a bright spark. Nick was so full of enthusiasm and joy for everything he did.

A beautiful bit of filmmaking which sums up our championships. #WhereGallusMeetsGreatness

A night we will never forget. What a hero.

The joint is jumping for the first morning of WICGlasgow24. Just interviewed our first gold medalist so I am also buzzing.

Glasgow looking amazing right as world’s top athletes start to arrive for WICGlasgow24. Going to do #runjumpthrow on the show tonight.

A beautiful day in Aberdeen. My second day at Granite Noir kicking off by attending a workshop from the hugely talented Shane Strachan

Thrilled to be chairing this tonight.

Suitably Aberdonian t-shirt for my first day at Granite Noir. #rowies

Aberdeen looking murderous tonight. Quite a sight to be met with on my late night arrival for Granite Noir
