A pleasure to meet fellow @thewingateprize.bsky.social judges at JW3 to agree an excellent longlist… more on that soon! Also enjoyed spotting the Brick Lane Beigel Bake in the new mural celebrating Jewish life in the UK — and calling in at the real thing for beigels and challah before heading home.
