Really pleased with this new review in Times Literary Supplement @TheTLS of my book "Travels through the Spanish Civil War" by @HurstPublishers.
"A genuinely engrossing book on the subject"

Today the German Chancellor sits silently next to Donald Trump as he threatens to cut off trade w Spain bc it won’t support the bombing of Iran. European powers say they want to work together in defence. Big differences remain. My new documentary on tonight BBC2 9pm & BBCiplayer
Turmoil in the Mideast, an unpredictable ally in Washington, Russia, China.. The UK + other European powers say they must work together better in security & defence. But how well do we really know each other? My new doc: Europe on the Edge is out on iPlayer today +BBC2 at 9pm👇
@BigJetTVLIVE This is terrible news. Jerry has done more than anyone to promote aviation and we need him back ASAP. Thinking of you Jerry - get well soon!
We thought Jerry would be home by now after his heart valve replacement surgery but sadly he has suffered 2 small strokes, the first one just 3 days after surgery. He was doing so well but he suffered another stroke yesterday.
I'm reaching out to the aviation community to help us get him through this. We need our Jerry back.
If you pray, please pray for him 🙏
Gilly 💕

@StevenSaul@FremantleHQ@AmazonMGMStudio Excellent. I remember about 20 years ago asking the info desk at Flinders St station for directions to the area. Once the chap had finally got me to overcome my embarrassment and admit my destination was 'Ramsay St' he gave me a pre-printed sheet with directions!
The late Patricia Routledge sings a number from Leonard Bernstein's ill-fated and much under-rated musical '1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.' The words 'Take Care of this House / Keep it from harm' rather fitting this week... youtube.com/watch?v=9BVC9l…

@shortwaveberlin No need for a tuning dial on this 'broadcasting speaker' I spotted in a Bucharest museum today. Distributed free, it only played the state propaganda station and users could apparently dim the volume but not turn it off. Have you ever come across this before?
I’m being joined by a new recruit in the @ClassicFM studio this evening. Meet Edward, a kind gift from the BRILLIANT @youthESO orchestra after our concert at this year’s @ElgarFestival ❤️ He’s mastering the bear essentials 🧸
