As soon as our candidates take their comfy (and fairly intimate!) seats @hexhamtv will be livestreaming the civil conversation at St Mary's, Ovingham. High expectations from me!
Deeply saddened and bereaved by the news this morning of the death of Jeremy Hardy. I am merely a devoted listener and my heart goes out to all those much closer to him. I can't do Brexit without Jeremy. Or any other politics or news, it feels at the moment.
Jeremy Hardy "retained to the end the principles that guided his life: trying to make the world more humane, and to be wonderfully funny", his publicist said
Did we leave Serbia while I slept on the excursion bus this morning? Because the toilets here have locks on the doors! #joy #mythical_land #Limes2018
Just asked a @Virgin_TrainsEC conductor if he receives commission, while he was insisting a polite woman behind me pay for a brand new ticket because she got on my train after hers was cancelled. Answer: yes, 5% Wow. #VirginFail
'White on the Wall': still some debate about whether #HadriansWall was painted or limewashed, but today it's lichen (from lovely clean air!)
Much event-talk this summer of men & their horses #HadriansCavalry ... @senhousemuseum it says "women tended to the horses" #everydaysexism
...and so began the story of Hadrian's final ascent to power...either legitimately or with a bit of trickery. Either way, a good result imho
1,900 years ago #onthisday, after a 19 year reign of military glory, Trajan died at Selinus #Hadrian1900 #Trajan1900 followinghadrian.com/2017/08/08/8th…
Carlisle was Caerleyl or Caer-leol: bit.ly/2wxguEi. Legionary bases at Chester & S Wales had similar names: bit.ly/2vCULhd
Terrific #HadriansCavalry event @SegedunumFort today. V skilled riders and audience v close to the action because of site layout. Thrilling!
Great 1st day at #TheSill yesterday. Not without inevitable teething problems but a lot of people having a fab time! More today @NlandNP =)
#AD122 travellers: although there is a bus stop at #TheSill the @gonortheast drivers "have been told not to go there yet". Wait at roadside.
Dear @NlandNP , A hearty hello from your 1st official visitor atop #TheSill roof. It's fab! Yours excitedly, Gillian
The Roman bridge at Adana across the river Sarus (modern Seyhan). It was built under Hadrian, restored by Justinian with even later repairs.
I'm a little bit in love with this Hadrian. He played the part brilliantly yesterday. I'd vote IN to Rome if he came to visit. #Turma
Ermine Street Guard leader's exhuberant foray to greet the crowd...& wet grass. Arm raised to crowd's cheers. Dignitas intactus #Turma #ESG
Have fun at today's #Turma everyone. Last night I waved my flag so hard it came off. Well done all the film & TV stunt riders and reenactors
"Oh look at that: defeated by a white rope. That's the problem with edges of empires." Best line of the day so far, from @TastesOfHistory
And the winners are... the Thracians! Kids of all ages loving being horses at the #Turma horse games #HadriansCavalry @TastesOfHistory
I wonder if people queued to get through #HadriansWall checkpoints as calmly as the queues for today's hippika gymnasia #HadriansCavalry
