Carousel by Jane Casey
Just a perfect weekend at St Hilda’s although I took terrible pictures so most of these are stolen. Tone set early on by finding someone in my favourite seat on the coach BUT it was my sister! We hadn’t planned it! The odds against this were staggering. The nonsense began with @vaseemkhanwriter putting up with @radiomukhers. I had a room overlooking the river and made it out for an early trot around Oxford. The light! And then the joy of hearing clever people talk about interesting things. Huge thanks to Simon Mason, @abigailsdean @remikonewriter @svaughanauthor for being gracious victims of my chairing. @ajaychowdhury.author asked the best questions throughout along with @ayoonatade and both delivered a brilliant paper. I can’t pick a favourite talk from @laurashepherdrobinson @hallierubenhold @martynwaites4847 and @andrewjrtaylor our wonderful guest of honour - all superb - but my favourite chat was with @jocallaghankat. Bualadh bos to @sarah_hilary999 for an exceptional weekend.

@jocallaghankat Ah, love these photos. As you say it was a perfect weekend and you were a brilliant chair. And you are so kind to listen to me blather on, thank you. On the last night we all agreed we need an audio book of you just saying all the nice, affirmative things you kept saying to us over the weekend 😍
