Visiting the birthplace of Cecily Neville on her birthday… But ⁦Raby Castle, Park and Gardens⁩ would be wonderful on any day.

Whitby Abbey - just wow! #AWT25

The wonderful ⁦Helen Castor⁩ speaking at Castle Howard, about ‘The Eagle and the Hart’. Thank you, #AWT25!

What a hurrah of historians - and what a house! Private dinner in Castle Howard last night for AWT. ⁦Tracy Borman OBE⁩, ⁦Dr Nicola Tallis⁩, ⁦Helen Castor⁩ and ⁦Alison Weir⁩ .

Spotted in the National Trust shop on … Lindisfarne! I like to think we get around, ‘Secret Voices’ and I. ⁦Batsford Books⁩

From Lindisfarne - the islet where St Cuthbert used to get away from all the pilgrims and admirers. #AWT25

I’m not totally castle-minded, but Warkworth really came to life, courtesy ⁦Julian Humphrys⁩’ tour. #AWT2025

Great last evening on the Alison Weir Tour! Enthroned at Langley Castle with Julian Humphrys, Alison Weir, Dr Nicola Tallis, Prof Kate Williams 💙 and Mike Jones.

There can’t be a much better moment to walk over the bridge into Durham.

A glowing farewell to York last night, at the end of another fabulous AWT tour.

East, West, Rex is best! Back where he belongs.

Always glad when I get back from a trip in time to see the last of the bluebells. They’ve suffered in the drought this year - but the hawthorn is spectacular.

My tree of this and every day - monkey puzzle in the garden. Bench below (normal human size) for purpose of comparison!

And we were at Vindolanda with AWT, watching the digging, just a fortnight ago! theguardian.com/science/2025/m…

So fantastic to be at the brilliant Alison Weir wonderful launch for ‘The Cardinal’ last night-the book is out now & you won’t want to miss it! 📚

Up the authors… to paraphrase! And no-one does more for authors than ⁦Hatchards⁩, with their fabulous annual authors’ party.

Hatchards’ party 2: ⁦Simon Schama⁩ with ⁦clare mulley⁩ and ⁦Jessie Childs⁩

Thrilled to be at tonight’s launch for Joanne Paul’s ‘groundbreaking Thomas More’. This is neither the bigot of Wolf Hall, nor the saint of A Man for All Seasons, but a thinker and doer deeply rooted in life and in London. Human and even - humane?
