Good morning! Ep 68 is out today - it's a mammoth episode, with aircraft designer Joe Wilding taking us through the history of Cold War Bombers. Jane goes AWOL half way through due to tech issues, but @jamesjhistory.bsky.social holds the fort!

An RN rating, wearing a Navy hats and boots, carries a young girl, aged about 10, along a cluttered dock in Greenock, Scotland, March 1, 1945.  They are walking past oil drums, tractors and moored ships.  The girl is smiling.  The rating has the look of someone who has completed a hugely worthwhile task.

An RN rating carries a young girl along a cluttered dock in Greenock, Scotland, March 1, 1945. This famous image, and the story behind it, epitomise naval purpose: protect the high seas, safeguard civilians.

This is the story of the Sørøya Island rescue.

A COTTAGE IN NORWAY – JUST CURIOUS JANE In April 2025, my family bought a beautiful but unloved forest cottage in Norway. Gradually, it's being brought back to life.

New blog post out today - I've returned to where my writing journey began, with a little spot of travel writing. Enjoy!
