Dang! And I had to dash off slightly early which didn’t help.
Thank you for your well-wishes, much appreciated. And yes, hope we can catch up soon. Am looking forward to hearing all of your news 🙂

Hope you enjoyed the concert. So sorry that I didn’t get a chance to catch up with you properly at NSG. Hopefully we’ll be able to do so soon 🤞🙂

In Birmingham for tonight’s concert of Schumann & Stravinsky by the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra & Simon Rattle and picked up this flyer about UoN’s dreadful Music Dept plans. Spread the word.

We are looking at a Queen Anne style brick building with a central doorway with a painted and carved coat of arms above two red doors. On either side are green fronted shops.

Has this wet and windy Tuesday been a struggle?

How about some red door energy to see you through to Wednesday.

You are welcome. 😉 ♥️

Three people in front of a blownup historic photograph of an elderly man carrying a bundle of sticks and labelled 'a Wiltshire thatcher'

Yesterday we welcomed a team from NHK (Japan's biggest broadcaster) interviewing @public-history.bsky.social about the amazing story of the Wiltshire Thatcher and the cover of Led Zeppelin IV (with Stairway to Heaven!). Broadcast in the New Year.

A photo of a black and white photo of Crawford in uniform, taken during the First World war while on leave at the Berkshire home of his aunts. The photo is in the Crawford Collection of the Institute of Archaeology, Oxford University. Mounted on brown card, a hand-written note says "on leave from France".

Haven't posted much about OGS Crawford for a while, so here's something from Crawford's WW1 days. He saw out the war as a PoW in Holzminden alongside the likes of James Whale, director of two of my all-time favourites "Bride of Frankenstein" and "The Old Dark House". Sadly, OGSC never mentioned...

Flying dreams and the human relationship to gravity From time to time, I have flying dreams. Standing on my feet, just a tiny movement will launch me into the air, and I go soaring above the ...

Is the much-vaunted human 'urge to explore', when applied to space, really just the echo of a flying dream? 🔭

And I'm out! Publicationally speaking. So here's a folklore quiz to celebrate!

A heads up that if you enjoyed my latest Substack post on America’s first female smut writer, Jane Gallion, there’s more material along similar lines in the book l coedited, GIRL GANGS, BIKER BOYS & REAL COOL CATS, which is still available through @pmpress.bsky.social

Playmobil Asterix standing in a hole through a tree.

So APPARENTLY (underlined if I could), this strange hole in a tree on the earthworks of Stanwick is a portal to the Iron Age (obviously I’m far too big to have gone through to verify, but he came back through very impressed).

I adore the Golden Age of Hollywood and especially love hearing stars from that era talk about personal experiences with other stars, directors etc.
Not the easiest of people, but what an actor, & raconteur 🙂
