Just sent this by a friend - I don’t read pieces in the Press about me (I’m not very interesting, frankly) but this is a light and fun take by @Tatlermagazine on Cat and me that made us both smile.

Two months ago Cat & I had the Northants County Cricket team for a barbecue at Althorp - I promised them that if they won the T20 Trophy they could come back for a proper banquet in the House. Well done on your victory this evening - delighted to make good my promise very soon!
This has been such an incredible project to be part of and it's exciting to see it enter the final phase.
Filming at the new Viking Ships Museum in Oslo, where she’s been advising for the past 6 years - @catjarman (now Cat Spencer).

So pleased to welcome Aslan to @AlthorpHouse - a former Police horse, he needed somewhere to retire to. Delighted to look after him now. He’s very charming and playful and has settled in quickly - having been stationed in London, he’s particularly loving the green fields.

We have done a whole episode on this:

Big party at @althorphouse today - celebrating the 1st birthday of our puppy, Freya. @CatJarman invited Freya’s parents, siblings, and their owners for a tea party - and they came from all over Britain. Canine chaos ensued.
Anyone out there have any recommendations for non-alcoholic wines? There seem to be a lot of quite good sparkling ones and we quite like Zeno and Oddbird's offerings.
Incredibly impressed & proud of you, @cspencer1508! You have such admirable willpower and resilience. 🩷
I made it to 6 months without alcohol, yesterday. Never felt better. Thank you @CatJarman for your quiet and thoughtful support in this happy transformation.

Finished #reading The Rabbit Hole Book by Richard Coles, Cat Jarman, and Charles Spencer. Random stuff from throughout history. Most, if not all, deeply interesting. Loved this. A must-read. Very much recommended.

Good to see paperbacks by @CatJarman and me diagonally together, in the history section of @WaterstonesPicc

Rudy - the one cat vermin control dept in the Stables at @AlthorpHouse - has trained me to turn the tap on for him on hot days. Apparently more fun for him than boringly drinking from his bowl…..

Cat Jarman breaks her silence after the ‘devastating’ moment her MS diagnosis was made public amid her relationship with Earl Spencer
tatlermagazine.visitlink.me/…
It's so incredibly heartening to hear comments like this from @iamangiewhite - thank you - it makes all the difference. It wasn't my choice for my MS to be shared but hopefully, my experiences can now help others.
For me, having @CatJarman share her experiences with MS is absolutely incredible. A person who is successful and triumphant and an amazing example to a generation of young people with chronic illness is so needed. It’s personal for me and I can’t say thank you enough! 😇🙏🏻💜

Thank you, @iamangiewhite - @CatJarman had the legal right to her medical privacy, but when that was maliciously and unlawfully taken away from her, Cat decided to turn a horrible act into a chance to hopefully help others.

News hot off the press – another Lego octopus has just surfaced – not in Cornwall this time but in Wales! In fact, it’s the first report we’ve had of a Lego octopus being found on a beach in Wales. It was discovered by Jenny Smith who told us: “We'd gone to our usual spot, Ginst Point in Laugharne, for a Father's Day beachcomb. We'd picked up the usual array of rubbish as we went around. We had found a few goodies and decided to head back to the car. After doubling back I stopped to get sand out of my eyes....I looked down and saw a spiral looking shape sticking out of the sand. I got out my rake to start digging...then our eyes locked...I couldn't believe what I was seeing...was it the sand in my eyes?!? I squealed with excitement, shouted to my husband and kids.... and sat there in complete shock. After 12 months of searching, we'd only gone and found the holy grail! Beyond chuffed!”
Thanks so much Jenny for sharing your story and pictures with us. What a find!

Just read The Bone Chests by Cat Jarman.
Excellent book on whereabouts and burials of many of #England #AngloSaxon and #Viking kings at Winchester Cathedral, sadly now all mixed together in mortuary chests after religious vandalism by parliamentary soldiers

It's been an absolute joy to read #TheBoneChests by @CatJarman on my commute this week. Brilliantly researched, this enthralling historical mystery tour of Britain had me captivated. Enlightening and engaging - highly recommended 📚👑 @WmCollinsBooks

This week @CatJarman & I discovered this fabulous place - Old School Books, in Burnham Market. An excellent selection on the bookshelves (coincidentally they sold out of Cat’s excellent history book, ‘Bone Chests’, yesterday), and then there’s the cafe. We shall return….
New hobby! Thank you @cspencer1508 for encouraging me, you never know when it might come in handy... 😅
This was actually inspired by years of learning about and finding Viking Age horse gear and arrows at Repton...
When your partner is of Viking stock, you can’t really be surprised when she takes up (as a new hobby) archery on horseback - a birthday treat to herself, today, for @CatJarman 🎈
