First time seeing a quote from one of my reviews printed on the back cover of a published book 📚

Thank you to Alan Saltman for asking me to review his latest book and for using a quote from it on the back cover.

Valentine’s Day!! 💌

The letters between Winston and Clementine Churchill highlight their devotion and love.

Churchill once wrote to Clementine, “My greatest good fortune, in a life full of brilliant experiences, has been to find you and to lead my life with you.”

#OTD Today marks 60 years since the death of Winston Churchill, on 24 January 1965. He passed away in his London residence surrounded by those he loved.

The newspapers the following day mourned the loss of the late prime minister and reflected on the legacy of his life. 🗞️ 🇬🇧

On what would have been Sir Winston Churchill’s 150th birthday we celebrate and reflect on his life, teachings, and legacy. ✌🏼🥂

To mark the occasion I share one of my favourite photographs of Churchill alongside his wife, Clementine. 📸
