A tale of Tudor London - The Armourer’s House by Rosemary Sutcliff. This was my favourite book as a child - set on the banks of the River Thames. So I just had to ask mudlarker @londonmudlark.bsky.social to introduce a new edition. Perfect half term reading for anyone aged 9-99! #booksky #readingrec

A brief overview of 1934:
🥸 Adolf Hitler names himself Fuhrer of Germany
💔 Joseph Stalin begins Great Purge
🌪️ Major doughy and dust storm known as the Dust Bowl hits the Midwest
📉 Great Depression and economic hardship hits a peak

Sound familiar? Folks, this is why we need history. #historymatters

I get such heartfelt feedback about 'With The End In Mind' but this has just stopped me in my tracks.
What an honour to be able to serve people as they live the last part of their lives so fully.
Speechless.
Thank you, @alexwr.bsky.social 🧡
Everyone should see this. Dr Kathryn Mannix’s book is a wonder and gave my terminally ill mum the tools to plan her leaving of this world, and the chance to mother us one last time by reading us passages and helping us face reality. I will be forever grateful.
I'm new here.
My TED talk might help explain what I do.
This talk was at TEDx Newcastle 2022, & chosen by TED for their homepage - amazing.
I've had such heartfelt feedback from people helped by hearing this forgotten wisdom.
