What a wonderful weekend at #haconf25. Liverpool was beautiful and the workshops were all on point. See you in Newcastle (and yes I've changed my mind about that).

The thing I really enjoyed about #soane25 yesterday was the people who explained how things hadn't worked first time. They were honest about their mistakes. Teaching isn't an exact science and it was joyful to hear of people's experimentation. More honesty and failures at conferences please.

Back in Bristol after a brilliant day at #Soane25. Chapeau to @michaeldoron.bsky.social for organising another cracking conference. Delivering that speech at the end with Eamonn Duffy sitting in front row was one of the more marginally terrifying things I've ever done.

#Soane25 will be a cracker. Just look at the keynotes. @richkhistory.bsky.social is inspirational in his ambition & scholarship – a must listen. Then Eamon Duffy talking with Steve Mastin who famously used Duffy's research to recreate Morebath in his classroom! #Historyteachers do not miss this.

Hoorah! Can't wait for #Soane25! 'Building worlds' is a terrific theme for the second year of this beautiful conference and the history geeks of Ark Soane are perfect hosts. History teachers everywhere, come for a day of total sanity and joy. Not one spot of dodgy 'sourcework' in sight.

Writing tip no. 10: read and reread your sources until you hear voices, then write a deeply human story about your historical subjects. Readers want to learn about real people, making real choices, in real circumstances, in real time. Make your actors complex and multi-dimensional. "Humanize"!

Beth Gibbons sat at the table next to us on a cafe in Bristol today. I was beyond star struck. Took everything in me to not try to tell us in gushing terms how I love her recent album and that her track with Kendrick is one of my favourite things. Instead I left her to enjoy her crumpets.
