Just seen Tracy talk about this in the @HallHarvington #HistoryFestival. They'd sold out in the book tent so I've ordered it from our village bookshop and booked tickets for Tudors on Tour at @TheApexVenue. Great speaker — super knowledgeable and super engaging. Best bits …
For TODAY (1 July) only, my new novel The House of Boleyn is just £0.99 on @AmazonKindle #kindledailydeal @HodderBooks 🎉🎉🎉
Finding out that King Charles III is a direct descendant of Anne Boleyn's sister Mary, and that Prince William has two direct lines since Diana, Princess of Wales, was also directly descended from Mary Boleyn; and …
I think I just heard the first time a #hexadecimal number was read out during the morning news on @BBCRadio4 #17B9D1 – at Great Bardfield, East
Great article in @seenunseenmag and strange synchronicity — our local vicar gave an excellent lent talk about the Bach St John Passion and used the exact same phrase @profntwright uses, that Bach asks "And what about you? Where are you in this story?"

I loved this debate, though at times frustrating it is amazing how deep two interlocutors who respect and listen to each other can go. Plus, a Christian appologist who gives their platform and so much time to a sharp witted and knowledgeable atheist gets my praise — go Justin!
This is a barnstormer... @CosmicSkeptic & @glenscrivener debate morality, freedom, slavery & the Bible!

I just pledged towards PROTECTED a film soundtrack by @DOSMars on @Kickstarter kickstarter.com/projects/dan… The London gig and screening sounds like a very special evening, Joël Espi's film of Halyna Andrusenko's work should be beautiful, and Daniela's flute playing is sumptuous.
@Ianskellyradio3 @BBCRadio3 Just to 2nd "Angela from Cambridge", please please please add #ThreeKings by #Kerfuffle to today's playlist. I love Hannah's (@Clogbox's) singing and what's not to love about a 5/4 time signature?
Blimey, I was just interviewed alongside @RCquaker by @williamcrawley on @BBCR4Sunday about the proposed 3rd option in #Quaker wedding vows to help #nontheist couples. I enjoyed the interview,and I hope it comes across OK🤞We start at 26:02 bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m002nk…
Incredible book: horrifying, heartwrenching, and factual. I listened on Audible and have immediately returned to the start to listen again, and then ordered a paper copy so I can scribble notes. Now I need to find the courage to bring these as talking points with all my friends
Excellent video on @JusBrierley's channel with @danny__kruger expanding on his parliamentary 'future of the CofE' speech youtube.com/watch?v=BEDAljGO… The bit that really moved with me was "I suggest we worship the God who came in the weakest form" — the opposite of Pascal's Wager
Great episode, Belle Tindall, @JusBrierley and @AndyOllerton on fascinating form. I've just started the @audible_com version of Ollerton's "God's Book" (narrated by himself), I think I will learn lots
Yesterday I got to the @southbankcentre ridiculously early (as is my want) for the @christhile concert with my brother and I stumbled upon the amazing @natpoetrylib. Three collections on their New Works shelf captivated me, all now ordered: …
… @CravenTim 's "Good Sons", @emilie_jelinek's "The Sky Around my Father", and Jenny Hamlett's "Sorry I forgot to pack my ears"
@DOSMars I discovered you … yesterday! via the @AppleClassical chart via @NLebrecht. In the blurb for your album Reverence on @Bandcamp you mention that it is a continuation of your first, Intrinsic. But I cannot find Intrinsic there. Any plans to make it available on @Bandcamp?
The two albums they do have, danielamars.bandcamp.com/alb… and danielamars.bandcamp.com/alb… are beautiful
If you get the chance to go to the #GunpowderPlot reenactment @HallHarvington take it: such an incredible evening. I learnt loads, in such a memorable way. – at Harvington, England
Hang on, isn't the Archbishop of York an ex Bishop of Chelmsford? Who knew the unassuming cathedral in Chelmsford would prove to be such a successful stepping stone. Go Essex! We need a "three swords on a shield" song.
A woman who fled to Britain from Iran at the age of 13 is one of at least two female bishops shortlisted to be the new archbishop of Canterbury

For example, here's a playlist of 12 different recordings of Britten's violin concerto. @bandcamp has 1 recording. It would be great to find one place I could support all the different classical artists I listen to open.spotify.com/playlist/43…
