Excited to hear @cathamclarke.bsky.social reading Old English on Radio 4 today! So inspiring!

Looking forward to attending this tonight! @cathamclarke.bsky.social

NEW West African ancestry in #medieval England? 🏺 #Archaeology DNA analysis of two unrelated individuals from two seventh-century-AD cemeteries uncovers the first evidence for genetic connections between Britain and Africa during the Early Middle Ages. #AntiquityThread 1/10 🧵 📷 Lilian Ladle

Given all the great work I’ve seen, I’m so proud to announce that my book, Truth is Trickiest, won the prize for the best monograph of 2024 from the International Society for the Study of Early Medieval England!

@lyftfloga.bsky.social and I were discussing foxfires on the train home and had a very interesting conversation with a lady across the aisle who had just had an uncanny encounter with a fox in Hyde Park.

Ready for our little local conference! Kettle’s boiled…. Just need some participants. #OERGISC2025 @royalholloway.bsky.social

Had a great time last night launching my book! Thanks to all who came along! Was honoured to have Jane Roberts and Catherine Clarke there!

I enjoyed @ccurran.bsky.social paper on #BretPal so much - her research promises major advances in our understanding of Breton palaeography 😇

Seems weird that I haven’t mentioned this before…. Yes, that book I’ve been writing for 20 years came out in July. Isn’t it beautiful? Am trying to work out what a book launch party could be… Stay tuned!

Am absurdly proud that the book I published in 1999 made me £5.42 last year!
