I’m honoured to be the new President of ⁦Dickens Fellowship⁩. I received the #Dickens medal from the excellent outgoing President, Prof Cathy Waters. It’s so moving to wear something that my father once wore, & to take on a role that #Katey Dickens #Perugini once held.

I love that so many people are reading Great Expectations, thanks to Estella’s Revenge. Isn’t that wonderful! Dickens Fellowship Lucinda Hawksley

Very nice to see this doing the rounds again. When I was a little kid I used to go to Manchester and come back with the accent. Harry and Paul thought this was very funny so wrote the sketch. The timing was perfect. 😎

I am quite familiar with the legendary writer, Arthur Conan Doyle, and his spectacular creation of Sherlock Holmes; however, my knowledge about the man behind the infamous character was quite limited. Audible Original Podcast offered this six-part series about Arthur Conan

So my [August] birthday hasn’t yet happened & today I encountered this #Christmas foods display in Sainsbury's - so perhaps it’s not too soon to tell you about my upcoming book #VictorianChristmas!

Blind date with a #book. This is such a great idea (spotted at October Books in Southampton). #bookshop #reading

Spotted in Brighton. Not that I’m excited about going to see ABBA Voyage in a few months, or anything…. ABBA ABBA Voyage

From 10 years ago, in Greenwich with Tall Ships. Greenwich always reminds what a maritime city London was in the past. #history #TallShips #Greenwich

Always fascinating #Greenwich. I loved this #portrait of Margaret Maskelyne at the Royal Observatory. So many interesting #women have been forgotten by #history, but at last they’re starting to be remembered by museums. Royal Observatory Greenwich

I’m working with a US uni group this week. We went to #Greenwich yesterday. I’m always mesmerised by this room inside Flamsteed House at the Royal Observatory. #video

My Floridian tour group have been very stoic about this bizarre September weather in #London - more like Dickens’s “implacable November weather”. #ClimateChange
