I'm very much looking forward to speaking to Willoughby History Group (nr Alford) on Saturday about mud and stud. It's fun to be giving this talk in the heartland of the technique, and I'm also very excited to be able to share about the Mud & Stud Buildings project - and invite them to get involved.

I'm very much looking forward to chatting to Lincolnshire Family History Society's Grantham branch about the #hearthtax tomorrow evening (Wed 18th) - come and join us! Harrow by Lane Methodist Church hall, Grantham, kicking off at 1930

Well it's 11 o'clock at night but it's snowing for the first time this year so I couldn't help sneaking out to enjoy it. The snow is really odd - soft and fluffy but weirdly dry in the hand, even when you take a handful back home to show the rest of the family!

These guys make amazing music, and this one is in aid of a really great cause. Please do support them however you can afford to! And then go and check out their inspired songs...

I'm absolutely delighted to share that I have just been appointed Project Officer for Lincolnshire County Council's new Mud and Stud project. Really looking forward to getting stuck into the first proper county-wide study of its indigenous building technique!

Really looking forward to @elponypisador.bsky.social in Selby tonight - and we got front row seats!

Not long now - really looking forward to speaking at Counting Chimneys tomorrow!

Really looking forward to speaking at the 'Counting Chimneys - The Hearth Tax in Lincolnshire' conference on the 25th. Everyone is welcome, book in now! www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/counting-c...

An absolutely pleasure to speak to Bracebridge Heath U3A today about mud and stud, and a delight to be speaking to Horncastle History & Heritage Society tomorrow evening - in the heart of Mud & Stud country!

Really enjoyed the first episode of @timeteam.bsky.social's latest excavation series - having really enjoyed volunteering as a test-pitter last year. Can't say I remember those finds though 😄. Next episode is out tomorrow... youtu.be/pYD3VOLd6_M?...

I wish I had been able to go on a weekend like this when I was an undergraduate. If you've ever wondered about the houses of ordinary folk in history, or (if you know me) wondered what it is that I actually get up to, then book in and have an amazing weekend in Oxfordshire!

Absolutely devastated to learn today that Pete's Eats in Llanberis has gone the way of all things. It's been an (admittedly less frequent than I would like) part of my life forever, and now there's no point finishing the Welsh 2000s if I can't finish in Pete's Eats!

This is quite a story...

Really looking forward to speaking at the SLHA 'Making of the Lincolnshire Landscape' conference on Saturday - sadly no more tickets available but info at www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/the-making...

This was indeed their finest hour...

It's a beautiful day at Trent Bridge for my first test match, just sad I don't have any cotton with me to crochet Tuffers some ear muff covers... @zaltzcricket.bsky.social

Really sad to hear this news - the Ponies are one of a kind, and their arrangements are really creative and distinctive, so there is no way this is just creative coincidence.

Absolutely loving @skinnylister.bsky.social 's new album Songs From The Yonder, and the latest Pieces of Eight from @thelongestjohns.bsky.social - 2025 is a good year for folk music, who else should I be listening to?

Very much looking forward to speaking to Grantham Local History Society on Monday evening. I'll be talking about all things Mud and Stud at Grantham Museum at 7.30pm,and would love to see you there!

This was an entertaining romp through naval incompetence. Having a bad day? Why not compare it to this captain's?

🧵 The UK government has announced they will make over £5bn in cuts to disabled people’s social security. This is the biggest cut on record. And we’re appalled. People at food banks have told us that they’re terrified about how they might survive.

With the world watching #Ukraine, here are 7 things you shouldn’t miss and how we can bring them before #God. #church #leadership

In a time, when everyone seems to telling #Ukraine what to do, we just wanted to hear from Ukrainian #leaders themselves. 👇

Amazing gig tonight with @thelongestjohns.bsky.social and @elponypisador.bsky.social - we've been waiting a long time to hear Northwest Passage live with the whole crew and they didn't disappoint! SUUUUUUU!

"For to us a Son is born, unto us a child is given, and the government shall be upon his shoulders and He shall be called Wonderful Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace" Merry Christmas!

If you're in the Lincoln area, come and join us at The Three Horseshoes in Waddington this evening for a spot of carol singing with live band and excellent real ale (other beverages are available!) ... or tomorrow when we're visiting all the pubs in Bracebridge Heath!

You do not need to be an academic to visit an archive. You do not need a degree to visit an archive. There is no terrifying Don at the door grilling potential visitors. If it's your first time, a nice archivist will help you. It's our shared history, our preserved records. Go explore it.

These guys are a ray of joy in dark days. The language is sometimes a little strong (but always justified) for sharing with little ones, but the love of humanity, talent and political acuity are outstanding!

For anyone in the UK, If you text ‘SHOUT’ to 85258 when you are in a dark place or suicidal, a trained crisis volunteer will text you back. This is great If you find talking on the phone challenging. It’s completely free 24/7. Please Repost, you never know who might need this support

Today is the 1,000th day of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine #StandWithUkraine #PrayForUkraine

We're really looking forward to seeing The Longest Pony in February!
