Incredible scenes in Afghanistan today as male students walk out of their university exam in protest against Taliban’s decision to BAN women & girls from university.

The time is now for men across the country to rise and stand in solidarity!

All my professional life I've had people tell me how much they hated history at school. You can prescribe the what, the how and the why all you want but if the Aotearoa NZ History Curriculum does not excite, enlighten and inspire we will repeat History. https://t.co/QOvJRfQeDm

I discovered a copy of this beautiful magazine at a petrol station near Farewell Spit and I’m hooked. We need more voices from rural NZ, the backbone of our nation, at a time when politics are dividing us. Farmers are guardians too— Shepherdess https://t.co/qZjs3kQbus

Springtime promise - the macadamia trees have set beautiful blossoms this year. Bee keeper will bring his hives any day now. I love the interplay of nature. Here’s hoping for a bumper crop.

Magical moment with a native NZ owl (Morepork) last night. She decided to observe the husband when he was feeding the dogs. She sat there for nearly 10 minutes. Nature is amazing.

I’m looking forward to this newest title by Wendy Moore. The Scottish Women’s Hospital and the women who served in WW 1 deserve to be celebrated.

[Wendy Moore @wendymoore99]

I do love a research trip. And this is going to be one of the most exciting ever... Off to Serbia tomorrow to see the places where the Scottish Women's Hospitals units worked in WW1 for my next book Jack and Eve's Wonderful Adventure. @AtlanticBooks @pew_literary

@wendymoore99 @AtlanticBooks @pew_literary Fantastic to hear that a new work on the SWH is in the making. I’m a fan of their work - amazing women in amazing times. Keep us updated, Wendy!
