Why write history? "Non-fiction books are crucial for preserving stories about women and men who make ground-breaking changes in the world," says Geraldine Roberts. She reflects on the experience of researching her new book, The Rebel and the Peacemaker: historiamag.com/joys-challen…

"The Angel and the Cad:Love, Loss and Scandal in Regency England" by @_GerryRoberts is my book of the year. Forget Jane Austin, where all stories end with a marriage. The real life is much more unfair.If you didn't read this book, you definitely don't understand the Regency era.

Fans of Interior Design Masters, I’m outside Banjo’s bar in Soho hoping for a cocktail. Lots of other people milling around with the same idea but unfortunately it’s closed this afternoon. Bar looks great and I will be back 🍹
