The joy of keeping a diary with Nina Stibbe
In this episode I was delighted to be joined by Nina Stibbe; who’s latest book Went to London, Took the Dog is out 2 November and is such a brilliant read.
I loved talking to Nina, and hearing her talk so patiently about her love of diaries has inspired me to try and keep my own diary.
