In all the excitement of the Bayeux Tapestry, there hasn't been much attention paid to the Latin stitched all over it! So Instant Classics fills the gap! Why is the Latin of the Tapestry so interesting? youtube.com/watch?v=-yjWKI…

And the awards ceremony is being hosted in #Newcastle! 😳🤷🏼♀️
How very disappointing that not a single institution in the North East of England has been shortlisted for the @PraxisAuril Knowledge Exchange UK awards.
The gulf of recognition widens…

I've spent this week in Manchester with @ProfArleneHH (left) training these wonderful prison educators to teach Aristotle's recipes for becoming the best and happiest version of yourself. So unbelievably rewarding. Thanks, Alice, Suzanne, Zoe, Caroline, Rebecca and Jilly!

A real ‘pinch me’ moment, launching 3 of my 2026 books at a parliamentary reception in the House of Lords yesterday. I summarised 350,000 words in 6 minutes!

Thank you SO much for coming from NI for the event. Your chapter brings rich insights which are vital for the future of Humanities education in schools and communities. @stranbelfast
What a special day today with my colleague @Jill_Magennis at the book launch of Humanities Forward in which we had written a chapter entitled ‘Looking Back, Striving Forward’ examining how Forgiveness could be a powerful tool for peace building in Northern Ireland @stranbelfast

So sad to hear this news. I was introduced to Pat by @edithmayhall and enjoyed our lunches and car trips around Cambridgeshire. She was kind, generous and encouraging. I remember particularly fondly a conversation about her own (state) schooling in #Blackburn. Rest well, Pat.

A heatwave. Water shortages. Crop failures.
It sounds familiar, but this was England in the 13th century.

Q: What has made me deliriously happy on a sunny Friday afternoon?
A: Submitting my chapter manuscript to the #Deutscher #Altphilologenverband for its centenary festschrift:
