Meta times: When a festival meeting with actual festival staff has a fictional conversation in a work of fiction. We’re flattered. Honestly. Rumour has it that Francis Plug will be back at the festival this year. Tickets go on sale on Thursday at greenwichbookfest.com pic.twitter.com/dCyQjKwwCN

@Rabid_Womble It's funny, too, because we used to have it on the second May Bank Holiday but then switched it to the middle of June from last year. What are the chances?

Public Service Announcement: This is the current state of the cherry blossoms in Greenwich Park. We’ve seen several articles in the past week using old photos giving the impression they’re in full bloom. As you can see, they’re not. We’ll let you know when they are. pic.twitter.com/GzjfHaIlXe

None other than @ninastibbe (GBF18) gives a shout out to Francis Plug from @GalleyBeggars who will be at GBF19. Though Francis is known to be unreliable. It might be Paul Ewan who’s here instead. theguardian.com/books/2019/ma…
