@SOJseaside Thank you so much, Sally! That means so much to me. Looking forward to meeting you in Stockholm xx

[Nia Tunnicliffe @C18thMiss]

I still can’t catch my breath after finding out that the fabulous @SOJseaside liked my work and described it as “cinematic in scope” - she has worked with some amazing authors, including Sarah Waters! Aaaaaah!!

I have been holding this news in for a few days now but I can finally shout it to the world….. I am the 2024 Stockholm Writers Festival Grand Prize Winner!! 🥇🎉🎉 I’m still in shock and am sure there’s been a mistake along the way somewhere..

[Nia Tunnicliffe @C18thMiss]

Intriguing image of an #earlymodern interior by Pieter Janssens Elinga, 1665-1670, coll. @staedelmuseum. Spot the wondrous play with the shadows of the chair. https://t.co/NXfKcwqc23

I love that my daughter is growing up to love reading (almost!) as much as me 😊 Here she is on World Book Day raving about her favourite author ⁦@sophyhenn⁩ and her favourite character Bad Nana 💕💕 #badnana #worldbookday https://t.co/TDHWeLc1Fs

The practice of turning nonconforming individuals into non-persons has been used with great effectiveness for centuries, none more so than the punishment of excommunication by the Roman Catholic Church.

@ClaudiaWinkle I reckon you can see his neon face from actual space.... But why choose to sneak out of DC to the YMCA telling people to “have a great life”?!?!? Confusing and odd. I also imagine the Village People were distraught! Also bravo on ‘Quite’ - loved every page of it! 💗

[Nia Tunnicliffe @C18thMiss]

@paulajaynebyrne Oh Paula!! I literally just bought one of Deirdre LeFaye’s books just yesterday, my first one😪

[Nia Tunnicliffe @C18thMiss]

@paulajaynebyrne Happy belated birthday, Paula! Hope you had a fabulous day xxx

[Nia Tunnicliffe @C18thMiss]

@paulajaynebyrne Yes! It cannot just be left as it was!! 😮😮😮

[Williamson Art Gallery & Birkenhead Priory @WilliamsonArt_]

There were no awareness days for today so I thought I'd show another one of my favourites from the collection. This beautiful oil on panel painting is called 'Study of Delphiniums' by Caroline Emily Gray Hill. 1843-1924.

@Pythika @Oriel_Mon I just LOVE this! Male voice choirs always remind me of my lovely Taid 💖💖

[Pythika @Pythika]

Welsh dragons and Liver birds: a gorgeous poster by Harry Hughes Williams for the Eisteddfod, Liverpool 1929. Imagine Welsh male voice choirs in Sefton Park! Can we do this again?
