Behold breakfast pizza! Big hit with 5yo and 40 something. Bran flake/nut/dried fruit base shmuzed in blender with honey and coconut oil - mould in cake tin and chill. Top with yogurt and fruit. Voila! Thank you @LidlGB for the recipe. #breakfast #kids

@AndrewHarrison_ @MaggieMScull @MDKandiah @KCL_BritPolGov Congratulations Doc!

Dear every writer I know. When you get a rejection, read the wisdom of @JohnMcCullough_ - this is the back page of a comp he judged and I will always be reassured by his kindness, gentleness and perspective. That last sentence - just perfect.

Love this! Great archival material at TNA on the great Virginia Woolf. @Lesley_Cat

[The National Archives @UkNatArchives]

Virginia Woolf is often remembered for her great literary works and untimely death but formal archive records such as this offer telling insights into her more intimate relationships📚

Tolkien discovery!

[The National Archives @UkNatArchives]

To mark #TolkienReadingDay we're excited to share some recently uncovered letters found in our own version of Middle-earth.

Hidden, as the best treasures always are, inside the pages of an archived document, one of our volunteers found these letters written by Tolkien in 1945.

After ten years @UkNatArchives can I tell the forgery? Of course not. This is why we have Euan!

[Euan Roger @euanroger]

Can you spot the forgery? In 1554 someone made an attempt to try and forge the sign manual of Queen Mary. The forged warrant was recorded in the official court records as evidence of treason, but can you tell the fake from the legitimate signature...? @UkNatArchives KB 8/24
