I just bought a book in the currently being opened Blue Bear Bookshop in Hartley Wintney, and this inscription is in the inside back cover.

Unlike many folk of late I am not abandoning Twitter/X because I have a communications job to do and I’m taking it anywhere that people will listen. My content will be reposted everywhere without fear or favour, and if there is an audience I will serve it.

But I do regret that we are likely to see ever fewer serendipitous initiatives like the one described above.
