7pm TODAY on @BBCFOUR Britain's Most Fragile Treasure @DrJaninaRamirez unlocks the secrets of a centuries-old masterpiece in glass, the Great East Window at York Minster, the largest expanse of medieval stained glass in the UK #StainedGlassSunday bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01…
My family are downstairs dying with laughter while watching @OnCunk rip apart precisely the sort of documentary making I’ve been doing for years…. Glad to know they prefer the parody to the original 😜
At this year's Festival there is even more to experience, as we will be hosting free events in the Scriptorium Buttery between and around the talks in the North Range. There will also be exhibitions in the space for you to enjoy at your leisure. #GlosHistFest25 @DrJaninaRamirez
Brits waking on Monday morning to grey clouds in the sky: “oh thank the gods!!!! Now this Mediterranean, bacchanalian chaos can cease and we can return to our normal grumbling selves……”

I’m exploring the idea of a reverse hibernation for Goths, paled skinned Brits, red-heads, and just anyone who hates this heat and is currently melting in the UK. It will involve spending summer in a freezer. Who’s with me?
IT’S MY BIRTHDAY!!!! Sadly I can’t celebrate yet as I’m deep in work mode putting the finishing touches to this beauty. If you want to give me a birthday treat then perhaps preorder it???
If you're a newsletter subscriber you will already know that we're livestreaming talks from @GlosBlackfriars again this autumn! Tickets go on sale on Fri 25 July at the same time as the in-person events. Programme released soon! #GlosHistFest25 @drjaninaramirez
Beginning a question with: ‘this is more of an observation than a question’….
What's a giveaway sign that someone thinks they're smarter than they actually are

Which medieval lion are you today?
Love is the most powerful drug. Married to this man 21 years today. Souls can combine and coexist to the point where there is no end or beginning. That’s what I feel. Love is all powerful. Happy 21st anniversary my love x
The second I saw her wipe away a tear I knew what the narrative would be - Women, know your place. You’re too emotional & hysterical for big, important jobs…. How about - colleague massively screws over other colleague & HE is the prick.
So much disingenuous guff being spewed about Rachel Reeves. If a male Chancellor cried in the Commons because he’d had a row with the Speaker, the media would be rightly merciless. If you can’t stand the heat, Rachel, get out of the political kitchen. Your job is too important.
Overstimulated creative ADHD mum arguing with overstimulated creative ADHD son at 2am: Me: go to bed Him: why aren’t you in bed? Me: I’ve got important stuff to do. Him: me too. Me: go to bed. Him: you first…. Impasse Let’s both agree tomorrow we will be tired and fabulous.
Humans are more lovely & beautiful than we often think. Yesterday I was stranded at Gerard’s Cross-our train broke down in the insane heat. Everyone pulled together and organised taxis to where we needed to go. A lovely man called Dave got us one & paid for it back to Oxford 1of3
