In June 2026, I’ll be taking a group to the Somme with a lineup of THREE authors/guides who have published on the infamous battle of 1916. To join me, @peterhart.bsky.social and the mighty Richard Van Emden, who explore more details at www.istoriatravel.org/somme

Our eldest son has an exhibition coming up in his old stomping ground and ancestral home. Hope you can come.
Anne and I went to see a screening of Jodie Comer in Prima Facie and what a storming performance and brilliant writing, can not recommend it enough. The way rape and violence against women, teaching of consent and the legal frameworks need to be addressed ASAP images.app.goo.gl/fjqymL9Jrcte...

We thought these two incredibly good potential entrants for the #shitmanakinsclub? The first is viewed through a prison door hatchway and is a young Addy penning his mighty tome. The second one is some sort of axe murderer prepping for a night out. Both entrants are from Eden Camp in Yorkshire.
Wonderful idea, I’d come on such a tour.

Good to find you here, we follow your pod all the time and really enjoy it very much. We are also G.W.G. members and have found your pods add to what we learn in that group excellently.

I was honoured to deliver my annual cry for the launch of the Wimborne Royal British Legion Poppy appeal yesterday. Thanks to Peter Metcalfe for you valuable pen craft & Anthony Oliver for the photo.

We had a cracking time in Brighton with the Great War Group conference thanks to @alexchurchill.bsky.social & @historyandmoore.bsky.social and many others. Great to see Gordon Skillen’s graphical story.
Interesting few days enjoying opening a new M&S, helping in The Keep Museum and a day with grandson Eric all such fun.
Brilliant that you did this and hope it was fun
How did it feel?
Had a very lovely day making a wee film with my two favourite Old Verwoodians about an amazing and often missed feature of Dorset History the Verwood Potteries with the History Revealed film crew.
Excellent talk last night on the 2nd Dorsets at Kohima, thank you Kohima Education Trust & The Keep Museum’s Elliott Metcalfe & Christopher Jary. Spotted this at the Keep yesterday.
