Wilderness wind-down (and festival love-in)

Hey folks, this is a personal post from me (Jules). I am on a romantic downer* after compering at Wilderness Festival on behalf of one of my publishers, Bloomsbury Sigma. We spent the afternoon talking about all sorts on stage including sex robots, fish noises and why some mammals have two holes downstairs and some have three, which is actually very interesting. Thank you to all involved and, particularly the very excellent authors Kate Devlin, Helen Scales, Liam Drew, and Jack Lewis.

This has been a big year for me both talking and compering at festivals, so I wanted to take a moment to say thanks to other organisations and event-makers who I have had the pleasure of working with.

THIS YEAR'S LOVELIES:

• Royal Horticultural Society (Hampton Court).

• Edinburgh International Science Festival

• Brighton Science Festival

• Bristol Festival of Nature

• Cheltenham Science Festival

• British Birdwatching Fair

• Wilderness Festival (courtesy of Bloomsbury Sigma).

Thank you, thank you, thank you. We've had a lot of fun and hope we can do it again sometime. x
