20 years ago this September I launched a Teen Reading Group at the Thamesmead Branch of Bexley Libraries in SE London, it went so well that the local Thamesview Magazine wrote an article about it. Weird to think that all the kids I worked with are now adults!

Three (of ten) wonderful bronze panels on the Thamesview bridge in Abingdon designed by Richard Farrington. They're based on motifs from an 8th-9th century silver sword found in the mid-19th century in the river nearby. The sword is now in the @AshmoleanMuseum, Oxford.
