Glad to hear you’ve escaped! I once got locked in the University Centre Shrewsbury building after a Saturday clearing shift and had to break out through the carpark! Good to see such a well-annotated copy of Emma!!

This morning I enjoyed author @lucyvandrew.bsky.social first newsletter with a nice cup of tea.📰 Fortunately, it was not like the cup of tea served up in her upcoming novel and it was served with milk rather than poison! ☕️🫖☠️
