Cutest video ever of the new statue of AGATHA CHRISTIE outside Wallingford Museum! The dog won't be convinced she's not alive. Huge thanks to the lovely people who donated to Wallingford Museum, it's much appreciated by Judy the curator, Ned and the other volunteers and me 🙏

Did you know that the exiled King of France spent five years in rural Buckinghamshire, waiting around for Napoleon to give him his throne back? My favourite birthday treat is going for a night in his luxurious home, which is now a hotel belonging to the National Trust Thank you so much to Hartwell House for gifting me a night's stay! I think the fact I've stayed there often on my own dollar also tells its own story ❤️ #ad Read all about it in my weekly history newsletter, MY LIFE IN THE PAST! 😃
