This January I’m launching an online course for people passionate about History. This isn’t a historian telling you things, it’s designed to turn you from a vociferous reader into someone who is starting to think like a historian themselves… Sign up details: introtohistory.eventbrite.com

Today has been spent basking in victory. Bring me the finest bagels and muffins in the land. My official title is “Rage Queen of the Imperial War Museum” and David Lloyd George, Christmas Truce, cult of Napoleon & Henry VIII were consigned to the dustbin of history @historyrage.bsky.social

A wonderful get together last night for lovely @fxmc1957.bsky.social Latest book launched, ably assisted by his bestie Paul McGann. It was a delight to share in the festivities & catch up with so many fellow historians! @claremulley.bsky.social @thehistoryguy.bsky.social @iainmacgregor1.bsky.social

Just f**k off you drug addled spunk monkey. You’re not from here, you don’t live here, you and your ignorant ramblings are not wanted here. The sooner someone shoots you into space, and you bob around like one of those Russian dogs in the 50s till the air runs out, the better off humanity will be.

Also had the best time hanging out with Meeru, who is totally blind but loves ear scratches and just standing near you.

Still love the cat sanctuary in Rome. Have just distance adopted Napoleone. He was smacked by a car and has some brain damage. He walks in circles a lot, but is adorable.

Tired legs at Base Camp tonight. Hiked Cavendish Road, Snakeshead, and that after a morning spent scampering about at Belvedere in the footsteps of the French! #Cassino #Recce #WW2 Also negotiated mountain driving for the first time without falling off or hitting anything 💪🏼

I do enjoy it!
