I have immersed myself in the book #Legenda by @drjaninaramirez.bsky.social . Fascinating and readable. I am somewhat appalled by my ignorance of certain early modern European history, especially of Greece.

So kind of Paul to write this, put it in an envelope, stick on a stamp & send it to me. Moments like this make everything feel worth it. If you admire someone’s work, their book, their programme, tell them. It’s easy to spread hate. Love takes effort!!! ❤️❤️❤️

Just a little old historian in the heart of power trying to emphasise why the past matters NOW!!!

I’m honoured to be Visiting Professor of Medieval Studies @unilincoln. Spring is coming it’s time to make choices. If one of them is following your passion for #Medieval Studies & Heritage then join us! Our MA has got a new Humanities and #Heritage Placement module starting 2026.

On the road again!!

Yes I’m exhausted! Yes I’ve been travelling for 24 hours non stop. But what a moment!!!!! So excited to be @jaipurlitfest !!!

Hi peeps! I’ve been on a lovely social media detox, but am back now. In Canterbury tomorrow talking all things Legenda, but it’s sold out! Then… and this is exciting! I’m off to India!!! Can’t wait xxxx

This year for me is about looking after body, mind & soul. I have always thrived in chaos & am best when busy, but I’ve been burying deeper needs to be kind to myself. I love hard on those around me but not on myself. I’m going to take little steps to change. Bring it on 2026!

Research Fellow @drjaninaramirez.bsky.social ended the year with a bang as she embarked on a nationwide tour for new book #Legenda. And in February Janina will be our first guest in a new series of evening talks hosted by our Principal @professorbeth.bsky.social. Read more 👇 tinyurl.com/2pukywfx

The perfect Christmas present doesn’t ex………………

My love for Poland runs deep, having 3 out of 4 Polish grandparents. But this filming has turned that love into a fascination & infatuation. I can’t thank @artywaldy enough for the experience. You’ll get to see the fruits of our labours soon in Nina & Waldy’s Adventures in Poland

Hysteria kicking in on day 3 of a mad, thrilling, wonderful filming adventure with @artywaldy through Poland!! More photos to come. What a crazy few weeks it’s been! Unsurprisingly I crawled home at midnight and have woken with the flu 🤧🤒😣

Radiohead last night was unbelievable, ethereal, transformative, sublime: a reminder of the deepest places that music can reach. So good to see & hug dear friends @philipselway & @adrianutley afterwards & I got to hear my favourite song - Nude - live. I’m emotionally wrung out!!!

Very excited for this tonight!!! A free online event! Join in and discover what the Legenda fuss is about! www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/whats-on/eve...

I know I’m not a big fish. I know my books take time and effort. But on this tour I’m astounded by the passion shown to me by people, some of whom have stayed with me for 15 years! @annaecarruthers has made magical nails for each of my books & I love her. I love all of you.

I AM coming @simplybookshq but I’m having to battle flooding! Wait for me and join me online tomorrow @nationalarchivesuk , Thursday at Durham town hall or Friday @warwickwords …. Good thing I LOVE meeting you all and sharing my beautiful book, as this tour is knackering!!!! Xxx

Was given this painting by a lovely lady who came to one of my talks! I’m endlessly humbled by the things people do for me! It’s the last big push of the tour- off to Chester today @histfestuk, then Manchester @simplybookshq, @nationalarchivesuk, Durham town hall and @warwickwords. Come & support me

Dear friends. I’ve done something different launching Legenda by targeting independent bookshops. I didn’t drive all sales to Amazon. So I’m relying on those of you that are reading it to share reviews & spread the word. I want this book to be supported by readers, not algorithms.

I’ve got to the end of the most brutal part of this tour. I’ve been overwhelmed with love and friendship. We’re all little pebbles splashing, making spaces, connections, webs, and our ripples reach far. You all help me get up every day and carry on. Thank you. Help Legenda fly….

I gave you seven years York. I know you remember. Me with my Viking garb on my last visit. I’m coming home. See me in @waterstonesyork 3pm, then over to @yorkstjohn for @toppingsyork event at 7pm. I’ll love you forever x

This is not staged. That literary halo simply follows me around 😜 Thank you @furbill.bsky.social & thr glorious people of Edinburgh!!

It’s been an absolutely MAD week launching Legenda into the world!! From Yeovil to Bath, London to Ely, Cambridge to Birmingham, Oswestry to Abergavenny, I’ve been feeling so much love. Thanks for beautiful window displays, event organisers & every person coming to see me! Now to Scotland & York!
