Tomorrow I am making my TV debut! I've been invited onto Sunday Morning Live (BBC1, 10.30am 9th Feb) to talk a little bit about the history & traditions of Valentine's Day. There will be cards! Flowers! Roman martyrs! Love spoons! And maybe even a quick how-to on Victorian fan flirtation... 💕💌💘

Kicking off my semester of sabbatical research with a couple of days at the wonderful Centre for Ephemera Studies, University of Reading. Here be trade cards, rewards of merit, greetings & friendship cards, valentines, scrapbooks and more galore! #ephemera #printculture #19thcentury #materialculture

The wonderful @crulph.bsky.social informs me that now I've joined bluesky, I have to pay the obligatory #PetTax and post a photo of my doggo. So here she is, looking like a sulky, sultry heroine reclining in her boudoir. She's ready for her close up now. And snacks. #beagle #dog
