Emma Barnett Instagram - 1. Today I turned 40. 2. I sat very near this painting, drink in hand: Female drinker by George Condo 3. And received many excellent cards, messages and notes. I particularly loved the quote on this one. Lunch is where it’s at. Hiccup. #40 #lunch #professionalluncher

Emma Barnett Instagram - A word on “the holidays”. Or getting “a break” or some “time away or off”. I would LOVE that. But it’s not really possible at the moment. Sharing as I know millions of others can relate. We live for the moments in between. We just don’t know when or if they are coming. It doesn’t mean there won’t be laughter and light - but much of it for those in the painful know - will take more effort than it should. Much more. Altering the entire experience of the festive period. It is, what it is. But here I am trying to make the unseen, seen - for anyone who might need it. 💪 ❤️ #chronicillness #chronicpain #holidays #break #pain #endo #endometriosis #adenomyosis #christmas #chanukah #hanukkah #festive #adeno
Emma Barnett Instagram - Stéphane Babonneau, the lawyer of Gisèle Pelicot, tells @emmabarnett the 72-year-old ‘doesn’t want to be considered as an icon’ and that she waived anonymity to help women believe ‘they can do it’ too, as judges prepare to give verdicts on the 51 men involved in the trial.

Emma Barnett Instagram - Got gowned. 16 years to the day since I graduated with my postgrad from Cardiff University School of Journalism - I was invited back to receive a fellowship and address the class of 2024. I spoke of properly brewed tea, never getting my 100 words per minute in short hand (I’m left handed, ok?), walking in the opposite direction to the crowd and nights down chip alley. If you know, you know. Plus the hat was fabulous. I’ve always loved me a good hat. Swipe to see #behindthescenes and a few other bits around town. Some things are the same; others, over. Congrats to everyone graduating. Seize that unique energy as you head out of education. You’re gonna need it. The hustle is real… Thank you to all of the teachers and parents too. Epic. #graduation #hustle #journalism #gown #hat #congrats @cardiffuni

Emma Barnett Instagram - This interview drops tomorrow. It isn’t maternity leave. Not really. It’s service. Maternity Service. Somehow I realised this during the fog of my second tour of duty, that I had fought tooth and nail to experience. And I was weirdly elated. Elated to a) have had an original thought through the sleep deprivation, the love bomb that is our daughter and the relentless abnegation of self. And b) to have snatched the time between naps, feeding, cleaning, doctor visits, nappies and school pick-ups to explore this thought. And write my account of maternity service - live - as it was happening. The result is a book I am really proud (and still rather amazed) exists and lands on shelves on March 13. I have read so many powerful books about motherhood and parenting - esp as host of the mighty @bbcwomanshour - but never one expressly on maternity leave and what actually goes down in this love wilderness: mentally, physically and practically. Maternity service, unlike leave, also never ends. And this framing really helps me dig deep to this day with my mothering of a two and seven year old girl and boy. In the book I also share stories I have already forgotten or unwittingly erased from that period - having already happily let the rose-tinted glasses descend. More to come and to be discussed. But I would bloody love you to pick up a copy via the pre order #linkinbio and to hear your take. Genuinely. Or when it drops next month from your local bookshop if you have one. Rest assured- it’s deliberately short but packs a punch. Here are some parts of the book extract in the @sundaytimesmagazine @thetimes exclusively tomorrow. Big thanks to The Sunday Times for putting maternity leave on the front page. ✍🏼 @laurafpullman 📸 @saneseven 💄 @emmasleon 👖 @kate_barbour #maternity #maternityleave #maternityservice #idea #holdthefrontpage #sundaypaper #sunday #sundaytimes #newbook #bookstagram #preorder #women #newmum #motherhood

Emma Barnett Instagram - Well, this was something. Recreating 6 year old me and my casual lean for the @guardian lovely #flashback feature in @gdnsaturday This photo hung above my grandfather’s desk for 30 years. The attention to detail by the team was incredible - right down to that plastic ivy plant and that 80s studio sandy backdrop. 🤌 😂 Thank you for having me and transporting me back to a pretty blissful time.

Emma Barnett Instagram - Peeking out from behind the barnet… it’s only my lovely @bbctodayprogramme co-host for the morning @bbckat - Katya Adler. I knew I’d had a big blow dry last night but the barnet proving a truly excellent curtain in this cheeky selfie. Two tired but happy women at the end of a good radio shift… #soundwomen #radio #studio #behindthescenes #r4today #todayprogramme
Emma Barnett Instagram - Loved this conversation with Jesse Eisenberg. Especially because that’s what it was. A proper conversation. And we talked about what it’s like standing outside of what was your grandparents’ house in Poland, or in Austria in my case, and how you feel, or don’t feel, seeing the place they escaped from during the Nazi era - but millions didn’t. Catch up if you can on today’s episode just after 8.30am on @bbctodayprogramme Oh, and we also talked about Mark Zuckerberg, America and kissing the floor. Not in that order. And no- he’s definitely not on social media. Jesse laughed confirming this - as I double checked with him on the way out of the studio 😜 #jesseeisenberg #arealpain
Emma Barnett Instagram - “It sounds weird to say I’m as happy as I’ve ever been in my life.”   Simon Boas, whose essay in the Jersey Evening Post went viral, explains how his career as an aid worker helped him come to terms with his own terminal cancer diagnosis aged 46.
Emma Barnett Instagram - World Exclusive: Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe has shared her story for the first time with me on @bbcwomanshour   It’s a story she’s wanted and waited to tell in her own words for six long years.   In the first part of the exclusive interview I am able to share ahead of this evening, Nazanin reveals for the very first time how she was made to sign a false confession in the presence of the British government as she was released this year. Just before she boarded the flight home to the U.K. The British-Iranian, who was freed from her six-year detention in Iran in March of this year, also explains how she survived solitary confinement, how the love of her daughter kept her alive, and what Prime Minster Boris Johnson told her about the real reason for her imprisonment.  Do join me if you can for the TV interview on @BBCOne at 8pm tonight. And my FULL interview with Nazanin will air exclusively on BBC Radio 4’s Woman’s Hour tomorrow at 10am and afterwards on @BBCSounds. Look forward to welcoming you to @bbcwomanshour for a very special extended interview.  .  .  .  #bbcwomanshour #womanshour #exclusive #NazaninZaghariRatcliffe #richardratcliffe
Emma Barnett Instagram - A day filled with joy, creativity, colour and…. rain! Loved going with my great friend Rendah Beshoori @ren2852 to see what has been conjured at the #chelseaflowershow - it was a feast for the eyes from the moment we left the tube station at Sloane Square before even getting into the show… and then the heavens opened and never stopped. And despite both wearing cream that was far from cream by the end of the day 😜 - we happily ploughed on. A friendship formed at the school gate, we’ve dealt with worse weather and there were no 6 year-old boys to manage. Huge thanks to all of the gardeners, designers, nurseries and everyone else in putting on such a fabulous show. As someone who knows little about plants and flowers, but would like to learn more, it was also a beautiful education. And I met a few of our @bbcradio4 @bbctodayprogramme listeners too. An extra bonus. Such great fun to see @clare_meandem - aka the (Northern) powerhouse behind @me_andem after taking her amazing British brand to NYC. We had a great chat about all things Manchester and Saddleworth, from whence we hail, and the brilliance of trousers with side zips that don’t cause tummy pressure (although the ones I am wearing have a frontal zip but are loose enough). This is not an ad. I’ve shopped at hers for years and my endo-ridden body is grateful for her design prowess! Now I’ve finished wringing out my sodden trousers from said rain - I wanted to share some snaps. Including us taking shelter in a stunning summer house (no, me neither until I asked) that I have mentally moved into but sadly didn’t take home on the tube. 🚇 #rhschelsea #gardens #rhschelseaflowershow #rain #beauty #femaledesign #trousers #women #flowers #plant 🌱 🪴 🌹 🌺 🌱

Emma Barnett Instagram - Exclusive: Jill and Martin Kingston faced a reality no parents should face - their son took his own life in their home after they had enjoyed a perfectly lovely lunch together. They were the ones to find him with a gun near his body, after he suffered a traumatic head wound. Thomas Kingston, the husband of Prince and Princess Michael of Kent’s daughter and the king’s second cousin, Lady Gabriella Windsor, was just 45. His death prompted a warning from a coroner. Today his parents speak for the first time since their son’s death. And they are doing so because they want something to change. Their son, who worked in finance, had been struggling with stress in his job and was prescribed by his GP some sleeping pills and an antidepressant - a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor - known as an SSRI. Tom, as his family refer to him, then returned to the surgery saying they were not making him feel better, and his doctor moved him from sertraline to citalopram, a similar drug. He then stopped taking that one as well. At an inquest, senior coroner Katy Skerrett said Mr Kingston had taken his own life and “was suffering adverse effects of medication he had recently been prescribed.” In a prevention of future deaths report, she said action must be taken over the risk to patients prescribed SSRI medications. And his widow Lady Gabriella said in a statement: “The lack of any evidence of inclination, it seems highly likely to me that he had an adverse reaction to the pills that led him to take his life...If this could happen to Tom, this could happen to anyone.” Current NHS advice says research suggests anti depressants can be helpful for people with moderate or severe depression. You must talk to you doctor before you stop taking anti depressants and it’s important you do not stop taking them suddenly. Jill and Martin are on air now @bbctodayprogramme and catch up at @bbcsounds @bbcradio4 @bbcnews

Emma Barnett Instagram - This woman. 💓 she captures how life feels and puts it on the page and then on our screens. And we all feel it- whatever it @abimorgan9 wants us to feel. ‘Eric’ on Netflix is her latest creation - starring my fave Gaby Hoffman and Benedict Cumberbatch. But you might know and love her for The Split, Suffragette, The Iron Lady, The Hour - I could go on. She is prolific. For me? It’s all about her harrowing and love-filled highly personal book about how hard her last few years have been: This is not a Pity Memoir. I read it in one breath almost - that’s how it felt. When it came out we spoke on @bbcwomanshour - where we first met and made a strong bond 10 years earlier. This week, during my third week at @bbctodayprogramme - I was so thrilled to be reunited once more and talk New York, the eighties, love and loss. Catch back up on @bbcsounds if you fancy- search for Thursday’s programme. She’s thriving despite what life just chucked at her. TBH whatever Abi’s making, I’m all here for it. #eric #women #writers #fighters
Emma Barnett Instagram - So many things have changed and yet nothing has changed at all. Taking my home girl @pollypaulettte around London Town today and seeing my boy Big Ben amaze her wonderful daughter - just the way it did me at the same age on a day trip from our home town of Manchester - made me dizzy with happiness, love and nostalgia. I’ve known this woman (but she’ll always be a girl to me) since we were 11 and lived in and out of each other’s homes- renting movies from the local video shop and chatting on the phone all night after a full day at school together. I love her bones and despite her moving to America nearly 20 years ago and us so rarely seeing each other anymore - she’s lost none of that northern soul and droll sense of humour. When we are together - it’s exactly the same as it always was. We just pick right back up. They are the very best type of friends and should be treasured. Paulette is also a talented artist and so it was an extra treat to squeeze in a visit to the exquisite Francis Bacon exhibition at the @nationalportraitgallery - go go go if you can. Totally unique. As was the ambitious outdoor art garden on the embankment. The very best of days with the very best of friends. The effort is always worth it.

Emma Barnett Instagram - Today this interview I conducted with Simon Boas, the aid worker who, after receiving a terminal cancer diagnosis, touched many people with his writing on living, was named Interview of the Year on @bbcradio4 This was decided by the most important people I always think of when I am on air: our listeners. It turned out to be Simon’s last broadcast interview. And I will be forever grateful he spared the precious time and energy to talk to me and our @bbctodayprogramme listeners. I had wanted him to come on the programme ever since I started reading his columns about how to live a meaningful life penned in his local paper, the Jersey Evening Post @jepnews . And I was thrilled when he said yes. His words about life moved me and many, many others. I shall remember and treasure our conversation for the rest of my days. When his book, A Beginner’s Guide To Dying, was published posthumously a few months later, I had the pleasure of speaking to Simon’s devoted wife, best friend and by this point, widow, Aurelie. Equally as inspiring but still in the throes of grief, it was also a very special and humane exchange. This week she was informed that @bbcradio4 listeners had voted for this interview to be the network’s interview of the year and was very pleased about it. She had also told me a few months ago, how happy Simon had been to be able to manage to talk to me and our listeners. Wherever you are Simon , thank you 🙏 and for also reminding me of this quote: “The growing good of the world is partly dependent on unhistoric acts; and that things are not so ill with you and me as they might have been, is half owing to the number who lived faithfully a hidden life, and rest in unvisited tombs.” George Eliot, Middlemarch. Thank you to my diligent and caring producer @catrin_manel 🙏 And thank you to @bbcradio4 listeners for this very lovely #boxingday surprise - which comes at the end of my first six months hosting the @bbctodayprogramme 🙏. It’s been quite the start…. #simonboas #wisdom #life #dying #perspective #gratitude #cancer #death #health #journalism #interview #broadcast

Thank you for joining us as we criss-crossed our way across the UK and spoke to senior members and leaders of most of the major political parties. Seeing what their representatives have to offer you, the voters, as the country prepares to go to the polls on July 4th. It was also my 4th shift on @bbctodayprogramme (casual news agenda) and my first with this guy- @nickrobinsonbbc - who interviewed Rishi Sunak. Listen back if you fancy on @bbcsounds👂via @bbcradio4 I’m off for some chippy chips. 🍟 #generalelection #election #morningcrew #r4today #todayprogramme #bbc #letsgo
Emma Barnett Instagram - For the last six months I’ve been working on a series of new books and I’m thrilled that the first one I’m officially sharing on my Insta feed is…. “Colour In…Manchester!!!” 🙌🏻 🐝 🙌🏻 Here she is. And what a beaut. 💪 Let me tell you some more: last year, after months walking every inch of our local area in Brixton, South London, while on shared parental leave with our newborn daughter, my husband, Jeremy and I came up with the idea of creating a very local colouring book as a way of explaining local landmarks and sights to our very inquisitive 5 year old little boy. 🙋‍♂️ What started out as a small home-grown project and a love letter to our local areas of Brixton and Herne Hill, has quickly grown into @colouryourstreets - a series of more than 30 hyper local colouring books covering neighbourhoods right across London. From “Colour In Croydon” to “Colour In Walthamstow,” we are adding more neighbourhoods each week with the help of local people filled with ideas of what mural, statue and bit of the park we should photograph in their ends. People are rightly so proud of where they live and come from. Plus I think after the Covid lockdowns, many of us have dug even harder into our local areas. People are loving colouring in the streets where they live and love- or used to live. It’s genuinely joyous hearing back from people once they receive their books and start scribbling away. Plus having a sense of place and local geography is part of the national curriculum so some bonus learning going on too… And as of today, especially as a proud Manc, I am very happy to share our first UK colouring book outside of London, is of course my home city: majestic Manchester. Our hope is to cover the UK so do get in touch with your suggestions over @colouryourstreets and the more detail the better. Niche is our niche. Our Manchester book drops this evening and I would love for you to check out the rest of the family: www.colouryourstreets.co.uk #manchester #london #local #colouring #local #lovelocal #familybusiness #artstagram #learn #draw #colour #books #colouringbook #colouryourstreets #screenfreekids #screenfreeactivities #screenfreeparenting #kids #children

Emma Barnett Instagram - I’m away on a holiday with the family - which means two very young children - and trying a new contraceptive pill in a bid to help with my endo and shut down my cycle for a while. Dizziness, slight nausea and feeling spaced/not quite myself as I acclimatise - having already changed pill once (after 8 rocky days) and now on day 2 of new one. It’s been a long time since I did this and would love any tips /answers as to how you coped with acclimatising and how long it took you? There is very little out there in terms of what people do as they get used to the new hormones and levels in the body. I will write this up so it can hopefully help other women on this rocky road. Thank you in advance 🙏 PS Ideally I would prefer for people not to advise me against chemicals and the pill - only to share advice or answers to the question if you felt you had something to say. It’s taken a long road, many doctors and much trial and error to get to very carefully thought out place. Which also included a disastrous experience on the mirena coil. I would be ever so grateful and hopefully we can help other women too. #pill #contraceptivepill #hormones #trying #endo #endometriosis #adenomyosis
Emma Barnett Instagram - Honestly - after school at mine was like a call centre - as I rang everyone I had usually just seen during the day and they, me. Three-way calls (remember those?!) were cutting edge. (I actually on to work in a call centre, a job I loved, and then later into speech radio- so I obviously had honed a passion for talking..) A few excerpts from my @theipaper column two weeks ago about my love of phone calls, landlines and Auntie Jean. #friends #phonecalls #godmother #phonerota #landline #nineties

Sharing as I know millions of others can relate. We live for the moments in between. We just don’t know when or if they are coming. It doesn’t mean there won’t be laughter and light - but much of it for those in the painful know - will take more effort than it should. Much more. Altering the entire experience of the festive period. It is, what it is. But here I am trying to make the unseen, seen - for anyone who might need it. 💪 ❤️ #chronicillness #chronicpain #holidays #break #pain #endo #endometriosis #adenomyosis #christmas #chanukah #hanukkah #festive #adeno

I spoke of properly brewed tea, never getting my 100 words per minute in short hand (I’m left handed, ok?), walking in the opposite direction to the crowd and nights down chip alley. If you know, you know. Plus the hat was fabulous. I’ve always loved me a good hat. Swipe to see #behindthescenes and a few other bits around town. Some things are the same; others, over.

Somehow I realised this during the fog of my second tour of duty, that I had fought tooth and nail to experience. And I was weirdly elated. Elated to a) have had an original thought through the sleep deprivation, the love bomb that is our daughter and the relentless abnegation of self. And b) to have snatched the time between naps, feeding, cleaning, doctor visits, nappies and school pick-ups to explore this thought. And write my account of maternity service - live - as it was happening. The result is a book I am really proud (and still rather amazed) exists and lands on shelves on March 13. I have read so many powerful books about motherhood and parenting - esp as host of the mighty @bbcwomanshour - but never one expressly on maternity leave and what actually goes down in this love wilderness: mentally, physically and practically. Maternity service, unlike leave, also never ends. And this framing really helps me dig deep to this day with my mothering of a two and seven year old girl and boy. In the book I also share stories I have already forgotten or unwittingly erased from that period - having already happily let the rose-tinted glasses descend. More to come and to be discussed. But I would bloody love you to pick up a copy via the pre order #linkinbio and to hear your take. Genuinely. Or when it drops next month from your local bookshop if you have one. Rest assured- it’s deliberately short but packs a punch. Here are some parts of the book extract in the @sundaytimesmagazine @thetimes exclusively tomorrow. Big thanks to The Sunday Times for putting maternity leave on the front page. ✍🏼 @laurafpullman 📸 @saneseven 💄 @emmasleon 👖 @kate_barbour #maternity #maternityleave #maternityservice #idea #holdthefrontpage #sundaypaper #sunday #sundaytimes #newbook #bookstagram #preorder #women #newmum #motherhood

Somehow I realised this during the fog of my second tour of duty, that I had fought tooth and nail to experience. And I was weirdly elated. Elated to a) have had an original thought through the sleep deprivation, the love bomb that is our daughter and the relentless abnegation of self. And b) to have snatched the time between naps, feeding, cleaning, doctor visits, nappies and school pick-ups to explore this thought. And write my account of maternity service - live - as it was happening. The result is a book I am really proud (and still rather amazed) exists and lands on shelves on March 13. I have read so many powerful books about motherhood and parenting - esp as host of the mighty @bbcwomanshour - but never one expressly on maternity leave and what actually goes down in this love wilderness: mentally, physically and practically. Maternity service, unlike leave, also never ends. And this framing really helps me dig deep to this day with my mothering of a two and seven year old girl and boy.

And we talked about what it’s like standing outside of what was your grandparents’ house in Poland, or in Austria in my case, and how you feel, or don’t feel, seeing the place they escaped from during the Nazi era - but millions didn’t. Catch up if you can on today’s episode just after 8.30am on @bbctodayprogramme Oh, and we also talked about Mark Zuckerberg, America and kissing the floor. Not in that order. And no- he’s definitely not on social media. Jesse laughed confirming this - as I double checked with him on the way out of the studio 😜 #jesseeisenberg #arealpain

Just before she boarded the flight home to the U.K. The British-Iranian, who was freed from her six-year detention in Iran in March of this year, also explains how she survived solitary confinement, how the love of her daughter kept her alive, and what Prime Minster Boris Johnson told her about the real reason for her imprisonment.  Do join me if you can for the TV interview on @BBCOne at 8pm tonight. And my FULL interview with Nazanin will air exclusively on BBC Radio 4’s Woman’s Hour tomorrow at 10am and afterwards on @BBCSounds.

Loved going with my great friend Rendah Beshoori @ren2852 to see what has been conjured at the #chelseaflowershow - it was a feast for the eyes from the moment we left the tube station at Sloane Square before even getting into the show… and then the heavens opened and never stopped. And despite both wearing cream that was far from cream by the end of the day 😜 - we happily ploughed on. A friendship formed at the school gate, we’ve dealt with worse weather and there were no 6 year-old boys to manage. Huge thanks to all of the gardeners, designers, nurseries and everyone else in putting on such a fabulous show. As someone who knows little about plants and flowers, but would like to learn more, it was also a beautiful education. And I met a few of our @bbcradio4 @bbctodayprogramme listeners too. An extra bonus. Such great fun to see @clare_meandem - aka the (Northern) powerhouse behind @me_andem after taking her amazing British brand to NYC. We had a great chat about all things Manchester and Saddleworth, from whence we hail, and the brilliance of trousers with side zips that don’t cause tummy pressure (although the ones I am wearing have a frontal zip but are loose enough). This is not an ad. I’ve shopped at hers for years and my endo-ridden body is grateful for her design prowess! Now I’ve finished wringing out my sodden trousers from said rain - I wanted to share some snaps. Including us taking shelter in a stunning summer house (no, me neither until I asked) that I have mentally moved into but sadly didn’t take home on the tube. 🚇 #rhschelsea #gardens #rhschelseaflowershow #rain #beauty #femaledesign #trousers #women #flowers #plant 🌱 🪴 🌹 🌺 🌱

Likes : 1485Emma Barnett - 1.2K Likes - Exclusive: Jill and Martin Kingston faced a reality no parents should face - their son took his own life in their home after they had enjoyed a perfectly lovely lunch together. They were the ones to find him with a gun near his body, after he suffered a traumatic head wound. Thomas Kingston, the husband of Prince and Princess Michael of Kent’s daughter and the king’s second cousin, Lady Gabriella Windsor, was just 45. His death prompted a warning from a coroner. Today his parents speak for the first time since their son’s death. And they are doing so because they want something to change. Their son, who worked in finance, had been struggling with stress in his job and was prescribed by his GP some sleeping pills and an antidepressant - a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor - known as an SSRI. Tom, as his family refer to him, then returned to the surgery saying they were not making him feel better, and his doctor moved him from sertraline to citalopram, a similar drug. He then stopped taking that one as well. At an inquest, senior coroner Katy Skerrett said Mr Kingston had taken his own life and “was suffering adverse effects of medication he had recently been prescribed.” In a prevention of future deaths report, she said action must be taken over the risk to patients prescribed SSRI medications. And his widow Lady Gabriella said in a statement: “The lack of any evidence of inclination, it seems highly likely to me that he had an adverse reaction to the pills that led him to take his life...If this could happen to Tom, this could happen to anyone.” Current NHS advice says research suggests anti depressants can be helpful for people with moderate or severe depression. You must talk to you doctor before you stop taking anti depressants and it’s important you do not stop taking them suddenly.

And we all feel it- whatever it @abimorgan9 wants us to feel. ‘Eric’ on Netflix is her latest creation - starring my fave Gaby Hoffman and Benedict Cumberbatch. But you might know and love her for The Split, Suffragette, The Iron Lady, The Hour - I could go on. She is prolific. For me? It’s all about her harrowing and love-filled highly personal book about how hard her last few years have been: This is not a Pity Memoir. I read it in one breath almost - that’s how it felt. When it came out we spoke on @bbcwomanshour - where we first met and made a strong bond 10 years earlier. This week, during my third week at @bbctodayprogramme - I was so thrilled to be reunited once more and talk New York, the eighties, love and loss. Catch back up on @bbcsounds if you fancy- search for Thursday’s programme. She’s thriving despite what life just chucked at her. TBH whatever Abi’s making, I’m all here for it. #eric #women #writers #fighters

Taking my home girl @pollypaulettte around London Town today and seeing my boy Big Ben amaze her wonderful daughter - just the way it did me at the same age on a day trip from our home town of Manchester - made me dizzy with happiness, love and nostalgia. I’ve known this woman (but she’ll always be a girl to me) since we were 11 and lived in and out of each other’s homes- renting movies from the local video shop and chatting on the phone all night after a full day at school together. I love her bones and despite her moving to America nearly 20 years ago and us so rarely seeing each other anymore - she’s lost none of that northern soul and droll sense of humour. When we are together - it’s exactly the same as it always was. We just pick right back up. They are the very best type of friends and should be treasured.

Caption : So many things have changed and yet nothing has changed at all. Taking my home girl @pollypaulettte around London Town today and seeing my boy Big Ben amaze her wonderful daughter – just the way it did me at the same age on a day trip from our home town of Manchester – made me dizzy with happiness, love and nostalgia. I’ve known this woman (but she’ll always be a girl to me) since we were 11 and lived in and out of each other’s homes- renting movies from the local video shop and chatting on the phone all night after a full day at school together. I love her bones and despite her moving to America nearly 20 years ago and us so rarely seeing each other anymore – she’s lost none of that northern soul and droll sense of humour. When we are together – it’s exactly the same as it always was. We just pick right back up. They are the very best type of friends and should be treasured.

Likes : 1024Emma Barnett - 0.9K Likes - Today this interview I conducted with Simon Boas, the aid worker who, after receiving a terminal cancer diagnosis, touched many people with his writing on living, was named Interview of the Year on @bbcradio4 This was decided by the most important people I always think of when I am on air: our listeners. It turned out to be Simon’s last broadcast interview. And I will be forever grateful he spared the precious time and energy to talk to me and our @bbctodayprogramme listeners. I had wanted him to come on the programme ever since I started reading his columns about how to live a meaningful life penned in his local paper, the Jersey Evening Post @jepnews . And I was thrilled when he said yes. His words about life moved me and many, many others. I shall remember and treasure our conversation for the rest of my days. When his book, A Beginner’s Guide To Dying, was published posthumously a few months later, I had the pleasure of speaking to Simon’s devoted wife, best friend and by this point, widow, Aurelie. Equally as inspiring but still in the throes of grief, it was also a very special and humane exchange. This week she was informed that @bbcradio4 listeners had voted for this interview to be the network’s interview of the year and was very pleased about it. She had also told me a few months ago, how happy Simon had been to be able to manage to talk to me and our listeners. Wherever you are Simon , thank you 🙏 and for also reminding me of this quote: “The growing good of the world is partly dependent on unhistoric acts; and that things are not so ill with you and me as they might have been, is half owing to the number who lived faithfully a hidden life, and rest in unvisited tombs.” George Eliot, Middlemarch. Thank you to my diligent and caring producer @catrin_manel 🙏 And thank you to @bbcradio4 listeners for this very lovely #boxingday surprise - which comes at the end of my first six months hosting the @bbctodayprogramme 🙏. It’s been quite the start…. #simonboas #wisdom #life #dying #perspective #gratitude #cancer #death #health #journalism #interview #broadcast

When his book, A Beginner’s Guide To Dying, was published posthumously a few months later, I had the pleasure of speaking to Simon’s devoted wife, best friend and by this point, widow, Aurelie. Equally as inspiring but still in the throes of grief, it was also a very special and humane exchange. This week she was informed that @bbcradio4 listeners had voted for this interview to be the network’s interview of the year and was very pleased about it. She had also told me a few months ago, how happy Simon had been to be able to manage to talk to me and our listeners. Wherever you are Simon , thank you 🙏 and for also reminding me of this quote: “The growing good of the world is partly dependent on unhistoric acts; and that things are not so ill with you and me as they might have been, is half owing to the number who lived faithfully a hidden life, and rest in unvisited tombs.” George Eliot, Middlemarch. Thank you to my diligent and caring producer @catrin_manel 🙏 And thank you to @bbcradio4 listeners for this very lovely #boxingday surprise – which comes at the end of my first six months hosting the @bbctodayprogramme 🙏. It’s been quite the start…. #simonboas #wisdom #life #dying #perspective #gratitude #cancer #death #health #journalism #interview #broadcast

Long-listed for the @womensprize - it was a joy to be out with her at the partay. We first met more than a decade ago, long before our respective matrescences. Look it up if you don’t know what I am on about. I found it so helpful and illuminating. Congrats to all those women long-listed and short listed and the winners for the @womensprize.

It was also my 4th shift on @bbctodayprogramme (casual news agenda) and my first with this guy- @nickrobinsonbbc - who interviewed Rishi Sunak.

And what a beaut. 💪 Let me tell you some more: last year, after months walking every inch of our local area in Brixton, South London, while on shared parental leave with our newborn daughter, my husband, Jeremy and I came up with the idea of creating a very local colouring book as a way of explaining local landmarks and sights to our very inquisitive 5 year old little boy. 🙋‍♂️ What started out as a small home-grown project and a love letter to our local areas of Brixton and Herne Hill, has quickly grown into @colouryourstreets - a series of more than 30 hyper local colouring books covering neighbourhoods right across London. From “Colour In Croydon” to “Colour In Walthamstow,” we are adding more neighbourhoods each week with the help of local people filled with ideas of what mural, statue and bit of the park we should photograph in their ends. People are rightly so proud of where they live and come from. Plus I think after the Covid lockdowns, many of us have dug even harder into our local areas. People are loving colouring in the streets where they live and love- or used to live. It’s genuinely joyous hearing back from people once they receive their books and start scribbling away. Plus having a sense of place and local geography is part of the national curriculum so some bonus learning going on too… And as of today, especially as a proud Manc, I am very happy to share our first UK colouring book outside of London, is of course my home city: majestic Manchester. Our hope is to cover the UK so do get in touch with your suggestions over @colouryourstreets and the more detail the better. Niche is our niche. Our Manchester book drops this evening and I would love for you to check out the rest of the family: www.colouryourstreets.co.uk #manchester #london #local #colouring #local #lovelocal #familybusiness #artstagram #learn #draw #colour #books #colouringbook #colouryourstreets #screenfreekids #screenfreeactivities #screenfreeparenting #kids #children

Dizziness, slight nausea and feeling spaced/not quite myself as I acclimatise - having already changed pill once (after 8 rocky days) and now on day 2 of new one. It’s been a long time since I did this and would love any tips /answers as to how you coped with acclimatising and how long it took you? There is very little out there in terms of what people do as they get used to the new hormones and levels in the body. I will write this up so it can hopefully help other women on this rocky road. Thank you in advance 🙏 PS Ideally I would prefer for people not to advise me against chemicals and the pill - only to share advice or answers to the question if you felt you had something to say. It’s taken a long road, many doctors and much trial and error to get to very carefully thought out place. Which also included a disastrous experience on the mirena coil. I would be ever so grateful and hopefully we can help other women too. #pill #contraceptivepill #hormones #trying #endo #endometriosis #adenomyosis

Three-way calls (remember those?!) were cutting edge. (I actually on to work in a call centre, a job I loved, and then later into speech radio- so I obviously had honed a passion for talking..)
