I was very impressed, as was my husband. You’ve definitely got the face and the knowledge for TV!

The programme was brilliant and you made lots of wonderful contributions in a way those of us who know little of the subject could really understand and enjoy. Well done and we look forward to further appearances!

You know you’ve married a gem when he takes you to London for 2 days, and the first 2 stops are secondhand bookshops where I find 10 books for my studies and he then carries them for me! Romance certainly not dead after 28 years of marriage ❤️.

You’re a poet, and didn’t know it!!

Always good to learn new ways of abusing people!!!! (joke)

On the basis that a PhD is earned (currently in my second year of 7) then you should always be introduced by your title and then give people your preference for being addressed depending on where you are. Eg giving a paper and taking questions then you should always be addressed as Dr etc

Make an Eve’s pudding instead of a crumble. Delicious!

I also refer to those I am researching in the present tense as I feel that they are alive with me! My husband gets worried sometimes… :)

Just don’t sink your teeth into the wrong one!!

One can NEVER have too many books!

That is so refreshing to hear! My husband got my very heavy hints and has purchased from an independent seller ready for Christmas (I am secretly quite impressed with him).

Yes. There are many more places at risk, all over the country. It’s so very heartbreaking.

Or toasted teacakes. Coffee and a buttery teacake after an autumnal walk is wonderful!

I think you look beautiful. Hope you enjoyed?

Tesco do a good range of non alcoholic wines including fizzy, rose and white if that helps.

It’s ok, I have just made a batch. Panic over

Mica caps I think according to the Seek app

Ooops! That would be very strong tea 😳

This is the kind of thing I do, so you give me hope!!

I agree that this is one of the reasons we have children… and I am looking forward to reading this new book. It’s on my Christmas list!

One scone per mile walked. We don’t make the rules.

Sorry Amy, they’re scraps. They just are.

Eve’s pudding with lashings of custard. To be fair, anything homemade with custard is great!

The Stolen Crown with Tracy Borman Hear the shocking tale of the plot to kill Elizabeth I from historian and broadcaster Tracy Borman.

My mum who died when I was 7. It would be wonderful to get to know her as a person rather than just my mum. What was her favourite colour? What made her laugh? What traits do we share?

If it’s worth banning, it’s worth owning.

I had the pleasure today of speaking at the Melton Mowbray U3A Local History Group where I presented the findings of my Masters research. Great group who were really interested and asked some excellent questions.
