And a shoutout for our brilliant Box of Delights cover artists. The limited edition hardback is by veteran cartoonist Paul Cemmick and the paperback edition features illustrations by our talented friend @gkw.bsky.social. 🖍️

Having spent 18 months of my early career Network Directing af BBC Television these clocks by @hiddenbritain.bsky.social are a terrific reminder of happy days.
