Oh, that would be lovely if the timetables mesh! I am in the city 20th-25th June (and a half-day on either side).

(Meant to post, by the way, that Eight Days of Diana Wynne Jones is in my head enough that I dreamed a new Chrestomanci book, in which a young boy gets hold of an alarming magical thing from the heart of a wood. He begins causing havoc with it, and Chrestomanci turns up and says “I’m too busy for this today so I’m sending you forward a hundred years for my successor to handle,” whereupon the boy starts skipping forward in time like a flung stone. His two encounters along the way are with his sweetheart, now much aged, (I haven’t read The Homeward Bounders in years but clearly I haven’t forgotten it) and with a man who when asked where he comes from says “those islands,” gesturing to a line of low wooded hills.)
