I've started a new series on my blog where I retell some of the lesser-known stories from early medieval England. The latest
(seaxeducation.substack.com/p/bothelms-b...) is about a monk, a broken arm, and the powers of divine moss.

Do check it out, and maybe one day I can afford my rent!
Bothelm's Broken Brones - The Healing Powers of Holy Moss
An injured monk seeks divine healing, and finds it in the mossy relic of a historic battle.

I've been talking about this network a lot recently! If you're a UK ECR (you have your PhD in hand), sign up for it!
You don't need an affiliation. You get access to their brilliant events (they fund your travel so you can attend), offer biannual conference funding, + access to larger funding opps.
