We lost my darling grandad on 26th July. Today his beloved football club, Faversham Town FC, said goodbye to their president in a really special way. I felt very proud to be his granddaughter and to see what he meant to so many people.

Really disappointed not to be at BSECS due to the weather (see snow pic!), but hope everyone going has a fab time!

If anyone is in York on Saturday, I’ll be giving the Director’s Cut of my BSECS paper for the York Georgian Society (message me for deets)

Really lovely evening at the York Georgian Society’s winter drinks. The event was held in the beautiful Leeds Library - the oldest lending library still going! Well worth a visit if you’re in Leeds

I have a dog called Bobby who will feature a lot here - he’s half Labrador and half cocker spaniel so, in other words, he’s 50% constantly hungry and 50% off his rocker. Here’s a pic:
