So proud to be part of @Literacy_Trust on such a landmark day. While I couldn’t be at the Conference, it’s inspiring to see so many educators coming together to drive change for young people’s literacy. Here’s to the National Year of Reading 2026! #NYR2026 #LiteracyMatters
On the day that the National Year of Reading 2026 launched, our Secondary Conference brought educators from across the country together to explore next steps for improving secondary school literacy. Thank you to all teachers, speakers and exhibitors who joined us.

Hi @StephenKing 👋 A long shot but we are a small horror press crowdfunding for our books and wondering if you would share the above? It would mean the (spirit) world to us and help us reach our target 🖤 https://t.co/JNMUvWRhy6

We're in #Puffin season in #NorthBerwick & the #ForthIslands. It comes to a close in August. But September is still a great time to explore our amazing local nature. Harbour Haven still has some availability from mid-August & into September. https://t.co/p6ytgt2UlT

1st visit to Pickles on Broughton Street #edinburgh last night. Nice staff, great Scottish produce. Not sure about the, what I think, was a wooden bottle opener hanging behind the bar. Won’t post a picture of it. Go see for yourself.
