13/9 Serious incident on road from#CHARD UK - #M5 involving horsebox & #JFSTravel passenger coach Driver tried to run #Horsebox off road TWICE Lorry damaged horse frightened have some CCTV footage & reported to police Any witnesses? #CoachDriver could have caused fatal accident!

#1066 why did Earl Harold go to Normandy? Forget the rubbish (totally inaccurate) #TVDrama #KingAndConqueror version of events - read my article instead! helenhollickauthor.blogspot.com/2025/09/week...

1st of the month, which means my monthly Thoughts From A Devonshire Farmhouse post... the theme for #September? #Time #Devon #UK thoughtsfromadevonshirefarmhouse.blogspot.com

so the facts of history are not important to the creators of #KingAndConqueror? Maybe they should have consulted 1066 TURNED UPSIDE DOWN ... Alternative (plausible) stories of #1066 mybook.to/1066TurnedUp...

:/ #KingAndConqueror #JamesNorton stated "I wasn't aware of the relationship Harold & William had before the battle [1066] that they were friends & allies for many years" that's because, MrNorton, they weren't! Try my novel it's more accurate! viewbook.at/HaroldTheKing

The #BattleOfHastings1066 #MyNovel 100%better than #KingAndConqueror better #written more (much more!) #Accurate more coherent #Plot accurate #Characters ignore the #TV rubbish read the book! Amazon Author Page: viewauthor.at/HelenHollick

so there's a new #1066 series starting on UK TV ... from the trailers I don't think it's anywhere near as good as my book! (even from these trailers there are enormous inaccuracies!) Amazon Author Page: viewauthor.at/HelenHollick

#CosyMysteries on #BBCRadio News again today with @richardosman1.bsky.social Cosy being made into a film. Good for him I say BUT us indie writers can't get such a boost of promotion- yet ours are just as good! Why not try mine? (& cheaper than his on #AmazonKindle!) viewauthor.at/HelenHollick

If you know anything about the fiercely competitive nature of the fruit and veg show in an English village, you'll know passions run high. @helenhollick.bsky.social tells us about how murderous it can be in her latest #cozycrime novel alisonmortonauthor.com/2025/08/21/a...

My #TheCoffeePotBookClub guest @catherinekullmann.bsky.social via @cathiedunn.bsky.social 1816 An older hero an enigmatic heroine & a delightfully outspoken four-year-old.

My turn as book blog guest today thanks to @alisonmorton.bsky.social Love her comment about A MISCHIEF OF MURDER made me laugh!
