Excited to reveal the cover for my new book ‘William Morris & His Gardens’ Published by Yale University Press @yalebooks.bsky.social on 13th October 2026. Isn’t she beautiful! Thank you to the great team at Yale, and the magic beings around me. #willliammorris #gardenhistory

For this reader, there are few greater (or more rare) joys than a new Susanna Clarke book 🥰 'The Bishop of Durham Attempts to Surrender the City' out now. #SusannaClarke

A warm heart on a stormy evening. Big love to Black Bough of Ludlow, hosts of the William Morris & his Gardens homecoming party. Thank you to all the great folk of the Welsh Marches who came out in the wild weather to share a drink and celebration. A wonderful evening x @yalebooks.bsky.social

Grateful to everyone who came to support & celebrate the book launch at Burlington House. I felt very loved and cared for❤️ Thanks to my gorgeous chum @advollyr.bsky.social for presenting me, @antiquaries.bsky.social for the beautiful venue, Kelmscott Manor and @yalebooks.bsky.social for the support

A special exclusive evening on Wednesday in the London home of William Morris. The WMS museum is opening by candlelight for an intimate talk with me about Morris's garden life there, a drink reception, and museum access. @williammorrissocuk.bsky.social williammorrissociety.org/events/an-ev...

Thank you @countrylifemag.bsky.social for the kind review of William Morris & his gardens. Such a warm feeling when a reviewer (of note) is sympathetically in tune with what you are hoping to achieve. @yalebooks.bsky.social

Great day at Cheltenham Literature Festival. Rich and fun conversation with the wonderful Daze Aghaji around what Morris can mean for us today. And a dear friend who I studied botany with way back (not David Suchet😄) came to grab a post talk pint. Friendly audience helped me sell out of books too!

Very grateful to Karl Ove Knausgaard for visiting Bath. And @toppingsbath.bsky.social for hosting. After years of devotedly reading his work it was special to have a few moments speaking with him. #booksky

Malcolm Guite guest lecture in the Welsh Marches this morning, talking unexpected beauty through the prism of a Seamus Heaney poem. So magic, gathered in the chapel in the midst of a storm, sharing Heaney in this way. The world stilled for a while. Dearest thanks @malcolmguite.bsky.social & Bleddfa

Fabulous White Board Session last night @tarabrabazon.bsky.social Your generosity always shines. Brought back memories of the Covid sessions and the 4 Pinata's of the Apocalypse! White Board ready! Rockets ready! 2025, let's do this... xx

A treat from the archive.. May Morris gets to grips with the climbers at Kelmscott Manor. #MayMorris #WilliamMorris

Flora Yukhnovich, current show at the Ashmolean. A gut punch of the Botanical Art tradition filtered through horror film heroines. #Ashmolean #BotanicalArt
