A @TheRestHistory special on UKRAINE. The Scythians & Saint Olga; the Golden Horde, the Ruin & the Cossacks; the wars, the famines & the genocides of the 20th century; the aftermath of the USSR's collapse.

We are also reposting two earlier episodes we recorded on the theme of UKRAINE. First: the origins of KIEVAN RUS.
Second: an episode recorded during the Euros, when England were playing Ukraine, on the (admittedly sometimes loose) theme of Anglo-Ukrainian relations
An important warning.

To @smitf_london, there - in my role as a top arbiter of fashion - to attend the launch of Matty Bovan’s Autumn/Winter collection. Very excited to find out what I’ll be wearing this coming Christmas!
Mind you, I’ll tell you one person who would have been very down on fashion shows: St Martin.
I’m going to look so hot in this

To Mayfair, there to plunge into the bowels of London for a tour of Down Street tube station: opened in 1907, closed in 1932, & used by Churchill & the war cabinet as a bunker until the Cabinet War Rooms were up & running.

Thank you, @daisychristo, for sourcing the ticket!
We get a torch! And a lanyard! Image
Only now do I realise that this was once a Tube station Image

I commend Milton's splendid phrase "inquisitorious and tyrannical duncery" to everyone on this site.
Also Dr Johnson on cant: "A whining pretension to goodness, in formal and affected terms."
'Cant' is a splendid word, that really deseres to make a comeback.

Reading @margarettelinc1’s new book, London & the 17th Century: The Making of the World’s Greatest City, & enjoying it very much.

Having already done walks of Roman, Anglo-Saxon, Medieval & Tudor London, I feel another marathon coming on…
I curl back up with London & the 17th Century - been looking forward to it all day!
“In 1636, City authorities petitioned that Stepney’s high number of plague deaths might not be included in London’s Bills of Mortality, so as not to give a worse impression of sickness in the City than was the case” - @margarettelinc1 #LondonInThe17thC

To Lancing, there to meet with the willow masters of @Newbery_Cricket, who - in readiness for the mighty deeds that I will be performing this coming summer - are going to be forging me a Bat of Power.
Some might say so, some might say so…
We arrive at @Newbery_Cricket, the Rivendell of the cricket kit-making world…
