Feeling very much like I'm "To the Manor Born" at a #Christmas party yesterday. Bring on the champagne 🍾🥂

Excellent weekend including a visit to Round Chimney's Farm near Howell for their Lambing Event and Woolly Workshops hosted by Millie at The Slipped Stitch. The farm's café is excellent as is their home-bred Aberdeen Angus beef. #Farm #ShopLocal

I seem to have acquired almost 50 new followers this week. Welcome everyone. I'll give you a book recommendation for the weekend. It's Tim Bouverie's Allies at War & it's won a place as one of my top 5 books of 2025. As stunning an account of the diplomatic history of #WW2 as you could ask for.

Superb talk @YeovilLiteraryFestival last night by the wonderful @garethrussell.bsky.social Thank you for a totally awesome look into the life of James VI and I. Look for Gareth's book 📚, Queen James, in all good bookshops.

Any minute now Poirot will appear round the corner, probably muttering about the dust on his shoes. Cute car, but I prefer the one that was waiting at a service station on the A303 this morning.

Delighted to report some early progress on research on tracing my father's movements in#WW2. Anyone here with knowledge of the 104th Regiment of the RHA during their Middle Eastern Forces service, I'd be pleased to hear from you! @almurray.bsky.social @ww2tv.bsky.social @guywalters.bsky.social

Had such an enjoyable time on Thursday evening, informing a very engaged audience about the Women's #Suffrage campaign. Great to return to speaking again after some time out!

Just a few nature shots from today's stroll in #Devon. Happy Easter everyone.

As an eclectic historian my current reading looks like this. Ross's biography of Blair Mayne is a far different & far more appealing portrait than #SAS Rogue Heroes offers.Howes's captivating work on Medieval women deserves high praise for its reading of independence within patriarchal context.

Just doing some fact checking in my book in preparation for a podcast recording with @historyrage.bsky.social You didn't know there were feisty Victorian women's campaigners...you will soon. For the full story beyond the podcast see: @MUP

Today in my work to become slightly more than an embryonic #theologian I'm reading the texts of Angela da Foligna. She writes to explore 3 kinds of prayer: the bodily, the mental & the supernatural. Looking forward to working on these wonderful #ChristianMystics next week @SarumCollege (on X).

Aside from #history one of my favourite things to do is bake cake 🎂. ATM I am enjoying the delicious aroma of warm #Christmas cake wafting in from the kitchen! 😋

Mary absolutely took no prisoners. Neither did the woman she inspired, Elizabeth Wolstenholme Elmy. I'm proud to be the latter's biographer.

A very interesting topic. Montefiore is discussed at some length in my biography of suffragette Elizabeth Wolstenholme Elmy.
