ChartwellNT

Happy #WorldBookDay! 📚 Here's me signing copies of Churchill's Citadel in the @ChartwellNT shop's stockroom. I have also inadvertently made a small fort.

What a day! It's been so rewarding to see the phenomenal press and media interest in our Churchill the Artist displays, including this wonderful painting of his from the 1920s, the era in which he bought Chartwell, on public display in the UK for the first time @ChartwellNT.✌️🎨

Today in the Daily Express, exciting news about our Churchill the Artist displays @ChartwellNT this year.✌️🎨 I'm also enjoying the one and only time in my life that I'll appear more prominently than Margot Robbie in a national newspaper. 😁

On @BBCNews today, being very excited about our new Churchill the Artist displays @ChartwellNT. ✌️🎨 bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Such a fun day with @James1940 and @almurray filming at @ChartwellNT for @ww2headquarters. ... *and* I'll be going live with them on their We Have Ways of Making You Talk podcast at 8.30pm (GMT) tonight. See you there! ✌️

Today's @ChartwellNT animal-themed Christmas room is *horses*. 🏇🎄 Churchill's love of all things equestrian began in childhood, before becoming a cavalry officer, a polo player, and owning racing horses after #WW2. His racing colours were pink and brown. 🩷🤎
