What an incredible evening we had yesterday!
Fascinating to hear former First Minister @NicolaSturgeon in conversation with Gavin Esler. She shared some brilliant, candid insights into her career and new memoir, Frankly.
Here are a few highlights! 👇

What an absolute pleasure to spend an hour in the company of the marvellous Sally Wainwright @YorkFestofIdeas
I am a huge fan of all her work (especially Happy Valley), and it was a joy to listen to her.
Sally also #SIGNED some copies of Gentleman Jack for us, and they are now on the website: foxlanebooks.co.uk/product-p…

Just because someone rents, shouldn't deny them the joy of having a pet in their life. Well done housemate.

This is our hearts for real, remember when we were children, simply playing. Some of us developed prowess and adults began to train us, shape us, put us into competition against each other. We always knew our opponents wanted to win too. Yes we learn so much in defeat yet it was how we behaved in victory that often revealed those who would later become friends and allies. #WisdomOfChildhood
🔴We have so, so much to learn from Children.
Two victories: she won the match and won when she turned the opponent's sadness into a smile.
