Tattoo of some wild rocket

Tattoo of some fennel

Eight months since I had my botanical tattoos done- wild rocket and fennel. Hmmm, what next…
Tempted to a portrait of the wonderful Hattie Jacques but possibly another botanical would be in keeping. #tattoos

Ugh you poor thing. Feel better soon. Another method for speedy weight loss is for your husband to go work for the NHS- he’ll bring home so many romantic gifts; norovirus, wheezy respiratory infections. Cosy togetherness guaranteed…

My condolences to you, he sounds amazing.

How lovely to see her wonderful face again. Thank you, John.

A diverse flight crew of a gay guy, a Black man, and a woman

A gay guy, a Black man, and a woman walk into a flight deck— that’s not the beginning of a joke, but just a regular day at work! There was so much DEI on this plane that we could hardly get in the air. Luckily my limp wrists were able to wrestle the heavy jet back to the ground 💅🏼

Grappling with History is great- I really love it and it has whetted the appetite for the show!

What a fab read-thank you. I hate to say it, but I am hooked! Sorry....I'll get my coat...

Top notch planning and an inspiration- mine are heading in the same direction!

In the Northamptonshire village of Aynho many old cottages have Apricots growing up their walls.
These had been given to the local householders by the Lord of the Manor. The locals were then required to pay their tithes in Apricots rather than money. #HouseHistory

I see Undercliffe House is up for sale again. I wrote a long form piece for Viva Lewes about this remarkable place (that I lived directly beneath) a decade ago. A cast of residents that you couldn’t invent, a pure Edward Gorey fantasy.

A quick note on A Thousand Blows, Black boxers in 1880s London, and ‘woke history’ Ching Hook (Hezekiah Moscow), Alec Munroe, Jem Haines, Jack Davenport, Albert Pearce, ‘Meat Market Charlie’ Bartlett, Violet and Rosaline Mills, Jack Watson, J. Oliver, Tom Tully, Felix Scott, Char…

A quick thing I wrote at the weekend in between being very physically sick, but also sick of racists on the internet.

As @drfernriddell.bsky.social kindly shared the other day, I would love to talk to culture journos writing on #AThousandBlows & interested:
