Heading home after a long weekend in London as part of the IWM Citizens Assembly. So interesting to see behind the scenes and learn more about their 33.5 million items though!

Two days into the new school years and it was the lunchbox walk of shame for the twins. It's going to be a long year!

Despite not being requested by anyone else for 30 years, I still got fined for being 3 days over due for renewing the Official History 🤣 Happy to pay it to support our libraries, but it is humorous nevertheless

I am the first person to take the Official History out of my county library in over 30 years

Today's new arrival. I listened to the Western Front Association podcast with Simon Batten as a guest speaker and thought it would be a useful read. I'm excited to start but nervous about finding space for it in my already overflowing bookcases

I've just completed my first packed lunch walk of shame. For those of you that are unfamiliar, it's when you send your child to school without having pre-ordered their school dinner, so get a phone call from the office saying they won't be fed unless you make the 25 min round trip
