I'm actually slightly mystified at how I managed to bypass the palaver, but I have this URL which is working for me without logging in to anything: edinburghuniversitypress.com/pub/media/eb...

If it turns out this is just some Scumbaggery, I'll delete posts.

Then we have all the early modern demographic data the amazing people at Campop have put together and shared. www.campop.geog.cam.ac.uk/research/pro... (some of that is in London Lives too!)

I put a fair few hours into making the inquests data myself, and that actually has two sources: the London Lives XML data - you can read all about how much work went into that monster here www.londonlives.org/about/project - plus a partial catalogue of the inquests Tim had made previously.

It's sobering to reflect on how much work and how many people have been involved in creating those datasets. Here's MOLA's *long* write-up of the creation of the LLP map data (and that was in part enhancing data previously laboriously made by Patrick Mannix): www.locatinglondon.org/about/mappin...

It was from last January, so I don't really know! But I think it *might* have taken some inspiration from this thehappyfoodie.co.uk/recipes/rick...
Rick Stein's Lamb Tagine with Apricots
A rich, warm stew spiced with ras-el-hanout, Rick Stein's Lamb Tagine with Apricots is served with couscous for a filling meal.

I'm feeling lazy so I've pulled a pot of lamb and apricot stew out of the freezer. #SomethingIMadeEarlier
