I always listen to Mitch Bennett doing a Christmas Carol while I decorate my tree. This will be fabulous and you should go if you can 😍

I love church kneelers and always look for them when I go churchcrawling. I think they are such a wonderful piece of folk art. I was particularly happy to see this delightful trio of guinea pigs in Alberbury church. 💚

A spooky story from the Victoria County History archive (or is it...?). A tribute to M R James and the world of the early VCH, which I first shared on 31 October last year - I hope you enjoy it. #Halloween @vch-home.bsky.social

In my 40s, “a woman who has let herself go” begins to sound less like a tragedy and more like a horse who has finally figured out how to open the gate.

I’m in awe of my colleague, Izzy, who created this podcast series doing all the planning, researching, writing and interviewing herself. She’s going to do (even more) great things! . open.spotify.com/show/2k1Xn50...

If you are at Leeds IMC you should go and see what Sara is up to and maybe pick up a copy of her fabulous book.
I'll be demonstrating manuscript processes at the craft fair at @imc-leeds.bsky.social on Thursday - ink, illumination and pigment. I'll have all my materials on display so come along and see what's involved! #medievalscriptorium

I’m really looking forward to reading Catherine’s book, not least if I’m going to judge a book by its cover.
Which 25 #poems made the cut in my new #history book #AHistoryOfEnglandIn25Poems? Each one is a portal, taking us into a moment in the past.

the fundamental disconnect between the manosphere and reality is that they are incapable of understanding that this is - according to every woman I’ve ever met - the sexiest thing a man has ever done

I persuaded the husband to go and see Sinners after I saw it yesterday and raved about the way it uses music. He’s just got back and stood outside the front door but I refused to invite him in. This is why we are still married.

Out of curiosity what did you call the playground game consisting of jumping in patterns in and out of a big loop of elastic held around the legs of two other girls? A pal and I are at odds despite coming from nearby towns at a similar time. Apols to boys who also played this!

I’m very excited to read this even though I’ve not fully forgiven @petemc666.bsky.social for the gut wrenching and appallingly inevitable end to the Rose Throne quadrilogy.

I have perfected my going out for a drink technique. Order a pint of shandy, a bit of chat about early 20th century sex-positive feminists, show everyone the legendary photo of young, hot Alistair Darling, and exit gracefully, picking up cheese on the way home for girl dinner.
