Here I am in Keswick - the view that John Ruskin described as the best in the world- to discuss This Time No Mistakes for the wonderfully popular Words by the Water book festival. See you at 3.30 pm!

Enthusiasm for Ruskin here in Keswick.. argued for a welfare state 85 years before it happened ! Now for my talk…

Back on the fells (albeit little 'uns)! It's 17.5 hiking miles for me this week (interspersed with some fab sessions at @WBTWKeswick). #nhs1000miles

Fabulous double event with @herdyshepherd1 , expertly handled by Helen @theshepherdswi1 last night @tbtlake . Lovely to see them both on home turf. Thankyou!

Day 2 at our local lit festival @WBTWKeswick Highlights inc: Peter Conrad on Dickens (interviewer @DrPennyBradshaw); George Monbiot (interviewer Sarah Hall); & Tim Barker performing 'Shakespeare for Shepherds' (chair Jean Scott-Smith, President of @DialectLakeland) Fab!

"How to be a writer? Read. Read. Read. Take a chance on a book. It might just be the best one you've ever read. And you can take that chance because we have such good public libraries," author Ann Cleeves talking at Words by the Water, Keswick. @WBTWKeswick #libraries Too right!

Early research for a picture book brought me here today. After my event at @WBTWKeswick .

Another extraordinary day @WBTWKeswick with many brilliant talks and readings, including the Poet Laureate, Simon Armitage, and @herdyshepherd1, whose work we study on our MA 📚🍃 All this and of course spectacular views outside!

Absolutely golden day here in Keswick for Cumbria’s wonderful literature festival @WBTWKeswick. Our MA programme leader is looking forward to doing some interviewing this afternoon 📚🍃

Oh, Keswick! I will be laughing for a while about the moment we discovered the Muse of Stationery lives in your Pencil Museum. Thanks for such a lovely night, and for packing out the most beautiful theatre in the country. Unfortunately I had to cope with these atrocious views…

Another great day underway at the Words by the Water Festival, #Keswick (& this is only part of it!). Particularly enjoyed the 'Landscape of Your Life' workshop led by Kathleen Jones this morning. @WBTWKeswick
