And very excited about publication in the UK tomorrow of my favourite book this year. An original and very brilliant journey through Ancient Greece. I have learned so much from the archaeologist Theo Papakostas. A phenomenon in Greece - and now translated into English!

Four years ago, with the President of the Hellenic Republic - the day I became a Greek. Thank you Greece. I treasure this gift.

Those masks seem so long ago - but did not get in the way of a wonderful conversation with Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis. What a memorable day…

Happy to be talking in Bridport and Bath today about The Figurine - a week ago I was looking at these delicate examples of Cycladic art (tiny figurines) in the spectacular archaeological museum in Heraklion

A huge honour to take part in a tribute to Lord Byron and the philhellenes in Athens last week. Huge thanks to the Society for Hellenism and Philhellenism.

My deepest condolences to the family of the great Giannis Boutaris, former mayor of Thessaloniki - inspirational, brilliant, beloved and humane. I feel very honoured to have known him. He will always remain in the city’s heart and mine.
