Curious WW1: postcards at the Bath Postal Museum (where they look much better than my shaky camerawork suggests!)
WW1 in colour: Christmas in the trenches, 1914. Our designer has coloured this in beautifully, I think
Note to self: a) tidy desk b) hmmm - is this desk looking less colourful than usual? c) buy some more pulp
Tales of the Oak on @Comixology Simply the best thing I've ever seen - @AuldDunrod, fancy a printed version? comixology.com/Tales-of-the-O…
Georgian image of the day: a rather beautiful woodcut of the royal coat of arms from 'Metropolitan Improvements'
One more: Ladies (and gents!): Henry IV, Richard III or Henry VIII? Which will you bed, wed and behead? #bedwedbehead
First to say 'Reader, I married him' wins! Bags I Jane Austen: great company, great books, lovely house at Chawton - and a fine hat to boot
Oct preview: Anyone fancy a game of 'Bed, Wed or Behead'? Gents (& ladies!): Austen, Bronte or Gaskell? #bedwedbehead
1913: Craiganour (owned by the Titanic Ismays) won but was disqualified; Aboyeur vanished in the Russian Revolution!
Some racing history from the great Newmarket racing museum's website: here's Anmer (who struck Emily Wilding Davison)
Agents! Get ready for this absolute barnstormer of a read by @lauraqwriter: South West Secret Agents! #WestCountryWW2
Speaking of British men, I should mention the fab 'Manual for British Men', out in June! A preview: trench quarters
A bit of curious WW2 as well: how to put out an incendiary with style
Outrageous lapses - no curious WW1s for an age. To make up for it, here's 'how the Victoria Cross is made'. #WW1
