My train north for the C15 conference is currently delayed due to a cow on the line. Apparently said cow is currently 'heading northbound' and we are following it. I suspect it might take a while to get to Durham...

Happy to see this out as an ebook - hard copies out next month. It’s something I was interested in writingall the way back as an undergraduate in 2006

You will have to be careful or you'll end up on my draft list of beta readers. 😉

I'm jealous! I've not actually been to see it in person.

I have finally found a Latin tutor who teaches Latin like a modern language. I was almost convinced such a thing didn't exist. I will never have to look at another grammar table again. I am genuinely overjoyed.

If you missed my IMC paper on rumours of Humphrey Duke of Gloucester's murder you can watch it on catch up here (registered delegates only). It was my first Leeds paper so if you have any criticism of it I would LOVE to hear it so I can get better next year.

A recording of my paper on Sir Thomas Mortimer and the Lords Appellant Revolt of 1387 for anyone at Leeds who missed my paper during #IMC2025 (only available to those registered for the conference)

Three dukes of Gloucester before 10:30am, what more could you want in life?

Joined Bluesky to say how much I enjoyed the past few days at Leeds IMC and to thank the Yorkist History Trust (@yorkisthistory.bsky.social) for letting me give a paper in such a fascinating session. Already looking forward to coming back next year!
