I feel seen... (currently on page 26 of ongoing talk notes and counting...) 😂🤣

If you are interested in writing historical fiction, Alison says: “Do far more research than you need, especially on background and everyday life. I used to do reams and reams of notes, and then use about a quarter or a third of it, but it gives you authority on the period. You have to know the details: including the clothes, songs, food and drink.”

Bit of a momentous day today - my braces have been taken off!

I hadn't realised how much I used to hide my wonky teeth until I tried to find a 'before' photo for this post... 😂

I can't help but find it utterly infuriating that a book focusing on the wives has a picture of their husband on the front cover... 😂

I'll be at Pendennis Castle today to mark DDay. There will be talks throughout the day, mine is 'Women’s Contribution to DDay' at 1pm. Come along if you're free!

I attempted a slightly easier version of the 1940s hair for my WW2 talk today! I always have SUCH a warm welcome from everyone at The Hawthorns Clevedon, thank you so much for a lovely afternoon. ❤️

It was a rather warm Tudor talk today! (edit: I was indoors, this is just what my perimenopausal face likes to do these days!! 😂)

I love these funny British traditions that are no longer relevant, but we keep doing them anyway... because they're, well, tradition! 😂
