Great to be on Polish national RadioPiK this morning, talking about one of the first women to serve in #WW2, & only the second female General in Poland: #ElżbietaZawacka aka #Zo, & my new biography #AgentZo #AgentkaZo!

I did gain an interest in Polish history then. But I’m interested in everything. Only 2 of my 5 books touch on Poland.

heading to Bydgoszcz - the first Polish town I ever visited, as a volunteer English teacher over 30 years ago!
Last pics show the onward tour, in case you can join me today in #Bydgoszcz or then in #Warsaw, #Poznań, #Kraków or #Gdańsk?!

Farewell beautiful #Toruń!
Just time for a cocktail before…

Yes, while researching the book. I promised her then I’d tell her story.

Paying my respects at the grave of the teacher, soldier, historian General Professor Elżbieta Zawacka, aka Zo, this morning at St George’s cemetery, Toruń.

Wonderful to see this mural of her life; the 4-engine British Halifax bomber, her parachuting down, #BigBen in #London, her service as a clandestine courier for the resistance during the #SecondWorldWar, & later life still defiant!

Wonderful to meet #Zo’s niece/cousin Dorota Zawacka Wakarecy again today. Dorota runs the Zawacka archive in #Toruń, which hosted a press conf for the Polish edn of my biog of #ElżbietaZawacka aka #AgentkaZo today… her blessing for the book meant the world to me!

The most detailed map of earth & heaven… & all their strange beasts.
I couldn’t leave Hereford without seeing the fabulous #mappamundi, kept in the cathedral, alongside their huge chained book library.
If I have to live in mediaeval England, please make me literate monk.
