Podcasting the History of England since a few years, and Shedcasts too. So mainly that. https://thehistoryofengland.co.uk
Views rarely my own, since usually someone much brighter talked me into it.

- Cromwell & his Reputation Historiography is one of the things I enjoy most covering in the podcast. And Cromwell's historiography has got to be one of the most fascinating. Here then is an episode I did recently on the subject. thehistoryofengland.co.uk/blog/2024/11...

- This is Alfred Bourne. In addition to his excellent hat and beard game, he was Secrerary of the British & Foreign Schools Society for 40 years to 1908. The Society established about 3,800 elementary schools, on the principal of non donominational education.
- Autumnal-ness in Oxfordshire. Quite a lot if these woods have quite young trees. I'm guessing that's because they were used for camps for US and Canadian Air Corps in WWII
- Who says history isn't good, practical vocational education? Picking up interpersonal skills training from 'the arts of wooing and Complimenting'. If you're out tonight, give 'you walk in artificial clouds and bathe your silken limbs in wanton dalliance' a whirl and see how it goes
- This made me laugh
- It's podcast recording day. If i wrote a good script, recording day is full of joy and laughter. If it turns out to be rubbish it's a day of pain, editing, distress and potenitally an exploding head. Fingers crossed

- I am 60, and have been so for 3 days. And this has been reinforced because 1) i went to the pharmacist for a presciption and it was free 2) a Bowel Cancer Screening set arrived from the NHS Forget Beltane or Confirmation and all that. These are the modern day rites of passage.
- For no particular reason, here is the roof of a church I visited at south Creake. It had a rather nice roof which I looked in a CCT book. It told me it's an Angel roof, of which there are 170 in England & Wales, 70% of which are in East Anglia. Puls single Hammer Beam roof. Thoroughly lovely
- The bridge over the mighty River Chater, in Champion land, prime hunting- steeple chasing territory. Heading for the medieval village that was and no longer is, Martinsthorpe
- This is the time of year i know spring is just round the corner because the mistle thrush in my garden starts drowning out the Robins - who have been enjoying a bust up for weeks. All part of an annual, seasonal build up.
