@SusanCalman @FogPauline Great name ☺️

Susan's #CatOfTheDay is Jellicle. Thank you @FogPauline for sharing this pic!

@LeandadeLisle Keep your documents/manuscripts safe, they like to nibble paper!

What is this creature I spotted on our scullery floor?

@ImmortalEgypt @GW1962 @horuswigan @DavidSillitoBBC @yorkarchaeology @kingsmedicine @bigideassea @KaneCunningham3 @trumerz @HazelMcGuinness @LimmatFilms An extraordinary piece of television

🥳Amazing! It was 14 years ago today that our documentary 'Mummifying Alan: Egypt's Last Secret' was up against David Attenborough & Brian Cox in the Specialist Factual category at the #BAFTA awards..... kcl.ac.uk/lsm/centre-for… & youtube.com/watch?v=XYxUsV…

@LeandadeLisle Love these trees

Our handkerchief tree is in full leaf!

@LeandadeLisle Never mind the biscuits - how was the surgery? Hope all ok!

The Biscoff has joined the chocolate bourbon and pink wafer as a very disappointing biscuit. The fact they seem to have replaced custard creams when you are given a cuppa eg after surgery makes me actively hate them. I couldn’t even get a chocolate hob nob. Britain has fallen

@GreyRevisited Has to be visiting Bradgate Park #rememberingJane #LadyJaneGrey

As #RememberingJaneGrey is coming to an end. I thought I would ask you what was it that introduced you to #LadyJaneGrey? Below is the book by R.J Unstead in which I first met Jane & read her story #Tudor #History #whendidyoumeetJane #Tudors

The govt's Student Loan Plan 2 repayment freeze in April 2027 must be reversed. It isn't moral. I'm concerned that my debate with Kemi Badenoch this morning distracts from the most immediate problem. In April 2027 Rachel Reeves will freeze the Plan 2 student loan threshold until 2030 which by then will increase graduate repayments by £300/yr more. This is effectively a unilateral negative breach of the student loan contract. Students were told the threshold would rise with average earnings. No commercial lender would be allowed to do this. The govt shouldn't do it either. Changing the terms of future students loans is a political decision - people may not like it but it is transparent. Negatively changing the terms of contracts already signed, and long in place, is a breach of natural justice.

Really do NOT miss #SmallProphets Currently on IPlayer The most unusual, original, sweet, moving and wonderful thing. 🌟

@janegreyinfo It was a beautiful sunny day, cold but did 8k 😊

@tudorista Hope it was dry and you had a nice walk.

A great find from the UK 🇬🇧 by detectorist Dane Woods. As he said: “I think I just found the best Lizzy I’ll ever find!” Elizabeth I coins don’t show up like this every day. #metaldetecting #silver #coin

Clue in the New York Times crossword today!

@janegreyinfo I missed it, will have to watch on catch up, but doubt I’ll get as many right as you! HNY

@tudorista Thank you. A couple I had to really think about.

Pleased to say I got all the Lady Jane Grey questions on Celebrity Mastermind correct!

@TheMickyDolenz1 Absolutely beautiful. True musicians. Saw you at Wembley back in the day. I think I was 9! 🥴

Here's a little something for Christmas Eve... a clip of us singing “Riu Chiu” a cappella from our Christmas episode. This traditional song echoes the call of a bird & tells the story of a river protecting sheep from a wolf. #TheMonkees #MickyDolenz

@ednoveanfarm Looks magnificent

The turkey is defrosting in a bath, the pudding nestled in its box, the Christmas treasures brought from the loft. The season of glittering candles begins

@e1duchess As a small child my daughter put Spider-Man on the roof of the stable. Shame I don’t have the photo!

In the process of moving eleventy billion books from the corner where our Christmas tree will shortly be placed, I remembered the time I misplaced a Wise Man and had to improvise. It’s still my favourite nativity scene even after 15 years.
