Delighted by @TheTimesBooks insightful & witty review of The Angel and the Cad - it's BOOK OF THE WEEK! http://t.co/Hin1AuaYfd

Congratulations to Geraldine Roberts on the release of The Rebel and the Peacemaker! Banished to the New World after rumours of adultery, Charles and Mary Bagot went on to soothe Anglo-American tensions and lay the groundwork for modern global diplomacy. https://t.co/YwSpHDnOZa

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.

"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.

@LizFremantle @DinnyHall Living the dream and totally looking the part! Congratulations Liz ❤️

Felt emotional this evening hearing the music of Wanstead House, beautifully recreated by Aldersbrook Community Choir, under the direction of Jonathan Pease, at St Mary’s Church

Sailing away from Portofino today. It really is as stunning as I imagined 😎

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 🍹

Restoration of the Wanstead Grotto has started! I’m delighted because it is the stuff of legends and one of the inspirations for my book The Angel and the Cad

[Heritage of London Trust @HOLTofLondon]

We were thrilled to talk to @_GerryRoberts about Wanstead and her wonderful book ‘The Angel and the Cad’

[Heritage of London Trust @HOLTofLondon]

It was a pleasure to bring our Patron HRH The Duke of Gloucester to Wanstead Grotto with @CoLEppingForest @FWP2009 The Duke was delighted to see progress of the first phase of restoration and meet our Proud Places group 🌟 @RoyalFamily @GraemeCity @cllrdoradf

[Liverpool University Press @LivUniPress]

@LizFremantle Amazing casting, congratulations Liz xx

[Geraldine Roberts @_GerryRoberts]

@cguyver It’s probably why most historians only write one or two books. Plus you have all the distractions of beautiful Surrey

[Geraldine Roberts @_GerryRoberts]

@cguyver I know how you feel, as I got addicted to Charles Bagot. But it feels good when the first draft is done. I hope the end is in sight for you too?

[Geraldine Roberts @_GerryRoberts]

Proud to see my daughter’s article in the Sunday Express today. Nice one Soph

Tomorrow's Sunday Express print #travel - why it's easy to fall in love with Mexico's Riviera Maya. With @LittleBitSoph

[Geraldine Roberts @_GerryRoberts]

@LizFremantle I’m sorry for your loss Liz. Sending love x

[Geraldine Roberts @_GerryRoberts]

@Castafi0re Ah thank you for saying. There’s been lots of interest but nothing concrete. Tho I’m still hoping…
