So grateful for the chance to have learned from Phoebe Waller-Bridge at her Masterclass this morning. The Q&A was refreshing, invigorating and ultimately very reassuring 💗 . . . . . #playwright #londontheatre #writer #scriptwriter #playwrightsofinstagram #writersofinstagram #londonthings #trh #masterclass #phoebewallerbridge #theatreroyalhaymarket https://www.instagram.com/p/CpAqdwAoRE_/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The second oldest #planetree in #London (or so I'm told), in #BrunswickSquare. Given its age, it might have been but a little sapling when #JaneAusten wrote about these gardens in #Emma. . . . #big #tree #londonthings #brunswicksquaregardens #writing #writers #literaryhistory https://www.instagram.com/p/CFtsawBF_Xg/?igshid=1h8zpt96opvl3

As seen from the top deck of a bus, naturally. #londonthings #squaremile #cityoflondon #cityinacityinacountryinacountry #words #signage https://www.instagram.com/p/CQrdipaFrx6/?utm_medium=tumblr

Sharks! 🦈😂 (Sound on for fortuitous groovy soundtrack courtesy of a passing cyclist🎶) I trekked up the canal to get a glimpse of these fantastic sculptures at the behest of a @cgpgrey video --which you should definitely check out to learn about the bureaucratic hilarity that led to @antepavilion's competition winner being in precisely this bit of #RegentsCanal. They're meant to be gone at the end of the month. #Sharks! . . . . . #londonthings #writeronawalk #art #artinstallation #thingsthatgivemejoy https://www.instagram.com/p/CPYobY0FBqj/?utm_medium=tumblr
