I find the @maryrosemuseum endlessly moving. Here is the ship on which Henry VIII and Charles V walked and on which, on 19 July 1545, 500 men lost their lives. Their belongings – preserved in the silt of the seabed and recovered in an extraordinary piece of maritime archaeology in the late 1970s and early 1980s – give us an unparalleled insight into everyday Tudor life. Of the 19,000 objects on board, here are just some of my favourites: – gold coins – this leather pouch, embossed with IHS (the first letters of the name of Jesus in Greek) and a cross, which held a sundial and wooden gavel – this stylish leather boot – a jerkin dyed with red madder – these beautifully-tooled book covers with Latin inscriptions and gold clasps

Henry’s coat of many colours by my resident artist. Let’s be honest: he never looked this good.
Can you believe that these are CAKES?? What artistry! What genius! These were made by the utterly talented @aaliyahmozzey and @emmajaynecakedesign

I am delighted to announce that I am chairing the judges of the inaugural @womensprize for Non-Fiction. I am joined by an extraordinary panel: fair fashion campaigner @venetialamanna Manna; academic, author and consultant @profnicolarollock; biographer and journalist @annesebba; and author of 2018 winner of the Women’s Prize for Fiction @kshamsie. We need this prize. We have to banish the lingering perception that non-fiction is men’s work by showing that authority and expertise are qualities that women possess in spades. This prize will shine a light on talented and often overlooked female writers creating brilliant, groundbreaking and revelatory work in genres that include history, science, philosophy, sport, nature, medicine, psychology and biography. I am unspeakably glad that the prize has come into existence – and am very grateful to the sponsors, @findmypast. For me, it’s an enormous privilege and a joy to chair the judges: together we have a chance to elevate the best of women’s non-fiction writing this year. I am wearing @aspigalondon.

In today’s episode of #NotJusttheTudors from @historyhit, I speak to @joannacarrick, whose new play, The Ungodly, is debuting at The Avenue Theatre in Ipswich. It explores the origin story of Matthew Hopkins, soi-disant Witchfinders General. I’m biased but I think it a fascinating chat about a wonderful play.
I’m always being asked what I use in my hair and @onlycurlslondon is the answer. I’ve experimented with so many other products but my husband bought me a starter kit from @onlycurlslondon a year ago and now I never use anything else. (And, yes, gift-giving is one of his many talents.) Just received this gorgeous care-package. This is not a paid partnership; just a brand I really blooming like.

Good morning!
I had a fab night with @savidgereads and Monica Ali, fellow chair judge of the @womensprize(s) tonight discussing the 29th Women’s Prize for Fiction and the inaugural Women’s Prize for Non-Fiction. Thank you to @whatsarahreadnext for the photo. It was wonderful to meet such a great community of book bloggers, influencers, and enthusiasts.
