Edinburgh friends, particularly those not back to school on 13th August!
I'm doing a couple of Edinburgh Festival Fringe events that day, and I am reliably informed that now is a good time to start shouting about it.
A FAMILY QUIZ on Scottish history, and a book launch for #ToWarwithWallace!

There is a Fringe event, is that any better? ScotlandsFest: To War With Wallace – Family Book Event | Edinburgh Festival Fringe share.google/MxgtzGLdcPWb...

Irony as I seek to conquer my unwieldy email inbox.

Bye bye cobwebs.

Fair enough...

Stressful!
🇩🇪⚽️🥅

Article deadline met. Phew!
Also: a brainstorming session with a heritage organisation about a potential partnership, a shedload of emails and PowerPoint presentation for #ToWarwithWallace.
Not bad, if I say so myself.
Now: cook and watch football.

Life could be worse!

I visited last summer and loved it too!

I plan to be an absolute weapon today. Our 4th lot of guests this week alone (the washing machine has barely stopped) lands this evening.
Between now and then I will finish writing the teaching resources for To War with Wallace and finish an article with a looming deadline.
There. I've said it!

The best kind of walk is axwalk that takes you back hundreds of years!

Today marks the anniversary of #JaneAusten 's death.
There are few writers who have given me quite so much joy over so many years as this one.
Thank you, Jane.

I've just donated to save this place of huge historic significance, particularly in Jacobite history. Time is tight.

Do I really need proper chain mail for school visits for #ToWarwithWallace?

Yes.
Yes, I think I do.
Ordered. 😊

@luathpress.bsky.social

A fab day with a catch-up with Havin of @luathpress.bsky.social and a quick pre-train book signing spree around nearby bookshops.
A lovely surprise: the kid beside me on the train said hello (shyly). I had visited her school and she had read one of my books in class!
And she asked for a pic! 😆
