welcome

30 June 2010: I went on GMTV to talk about the teaching of history in schools. Watch it here.

I’ve also recently been filming for a Canadian TV series called ‘Museum Discoveries’ being made by Kensington TV.

I can’t resist sharing my big news... On 22nd May 2010, I was lucky enough to get married to my beloved, Drake Lawhead, at Hampton Court Palace, Henry VIII’s palace. Here’s some of the photos, if you’re interested, by the talented photographer Steven Brooks Suzannah & Drake’s wedding or Love my Dress blog.

How to Paint a Monarch is my article in the April edition of Wunderkammer Magazine.

See my review of Mark Dawson’s Plenti and Grase in April’s History Today.

More talks coming up in the autumn... watch this space.
