Four stars from the Guardian today. Showing across the UK from tonight. #TheChoral #WW1

Lovely to see the film in front of an audience at #LIFF25 and no better venue than a packed Hyde Park Picturehouse. Beautifully presented on the night and very well received. Proud to see my name on screen. Thanks to everyone involved for a great event. #LIFF25 #TheChoral #WW1

Looking forward to seeing this in front of an audience for the first time at #LIFF2025 this Friday at the Hyde Park Picture House. Choral performance beforehand too! Lovely project to have worked on. #WW1

Proud to have worked on this production and looking forward to watching the finished product tonight. #houseofguinness

1/2 Takes a special kind of idiot to dump rubbish on a nature reserve. Just drove up the North Gare road and found it littered with rolls of scrap carpet. As much as I can get in the boot of my already full car has been retrieved but there's more. It'll have to come back to Leeds with me.

Went to an archives conference type thing in Durham today. Met a man from Argentina who is researching the history of the tango. Of course most of our conversation was about Bielsa... #lufc #bielsa

Unbelievable. What a team. What a set of amazing women. So happy for them all. #lionesses #euros

Well done Sunderland! Great to see Poveda & Hjelde celebrating. #lufc #alaw

A glimpse of life without the NHS. I have just paid £350 for a videocall with an NHS consultant in London because my local hospital doesn't offer this particular treatment. Bill for me if I go ahead with the treatment itself? £22k. #NHS #postcodelottery

The erratic UK tour continues. Tonight I'm in Stowmarket speaking to the Western Front Association about Britain's First World widows. #ww1 #wfa

More from this afternoon. #lufc #leeds

In town for the parade. It's absolutely insane!😆 #lufc #leeds

Going up, as champions. Revie himself would be proud. #MOT #lufc

🔥 THAT WAS SENSATIONAL!!!

The ease with which this promotion was finally achieved left me numb last night. Given the way LUFC normally do things, I reckon I was in shock. But today, rewatching the celebrations, I must admit I'm a little bit teary...😥 #lufc #mot #alaw

Well that wasn't the afternoon I expected. 6-0? Where was my nail biting 75 mins anticipating an equaliser? It's just not the same...🤣 #lufc

On the road tomorrow to The Buffs Club in Norton, speaking for the Western Front Association about First World War widows. Doors 7.30pm, talk is at 8pm. £5 suggested donation and there's a buffet. Sounds like a bargain.#ww1

On my way to Todmorden to speak to the Antiquarian Society tonight. 7.30pm at Calder College. Lovely day for a train journey! #ww1

So, I suppose I should promote the fact that I now have a website. www.historylass.co.uk It's taken me a while...

Seeing the sights in Chesterfield last night before my talk for the WFA. Forgot it was Tony Benn's constituency. Wonder what he would think of the last 8 months.🙁

Last night I was out with Switalskis watching the Leeds Knights.Today I was with another Knight, Sir Nicholas Hytner, at the premiere of his new film The Choral. And tomorrow I'm duty solicitor for Normanton Police Station... Just an average weekend.😆

My next talk is on 4th March at Chesterfield Labour Club at 7pm, where you can hear me talk about the criminal lives of home front deserters. Hosts are the WFA but all are welcome. Suggested donation on the door to cover the costs is £3. #WW1 #WFA #deserters

Bloody hell! I'm building my new website so went to find the URL for one of my YouTube talks and discovered that it's had 44,000 views in just 4 months! 😲 #wfa #ww1 #scampsinkhaki

And I thought my parking was bad... 😆#york

At the protest against the proposed closure of Abbey House Museum in Leeds. Save our museum! Lobby your Leeds MP, sign a petition, respond to the Council's consultation. #Leeds

2024 was mostly an awful year for me. I broke my leg, hurt my back and lost my mum. There was some light in the gloom. I adopted mum's cat, who I can't imagine living without. And I worked on a film & a major TV show that mum would have loved. Happy New Year. I hope 2025 is better for all of us.

Abbey house museum has a fond place in my heart from memorable family visits as a child to school visits. It would be a real shame for the museum to close and for others to miss out on the opportunity to visit.

This is Leeds City Council's consultation on Abbey House Museum. Please fill it in if you are a Leeds resident and retweet to let our voices be heard. #history #Leeds. bit.ly/AHMconsultat...

chng.it/WQzGBcqKWQ Leeds City Council are trying to shut down one of the region's best museums. Please sign to help stop this! #history #leeds

Sorry kids, Christmas is cancelled. Santa has met with an unfortunate accident in Headingley after taking part in the Otley Run. #Leeds

Birthday gift from my partner. And they say romance is dead!🤣

Hey Royal Mail. Thanks so much for my proof of delivery photo. It's bad enough without the item in shot, but this isn't even my path! #mailfail

Emptying my waste paper bin has revealed the astonishing number of heat pads it took to see off my back injury. #old

Bloody hell, LUFC...I'm too old for this excitement. Can we just have some boring 1-0s for a couple of weeks please?🤣 #lufc

1/2 Hello to those who are meeting me on here for the first time. I write books and do historical research for companies and individuals. I advise film & TV companies on historical/legal accuracy. I also edit book reviews for the Western Front Association.But none of that pays enough to live on...

So, here I am on Blue Sky hoping to find less poison. First message was from a company trying to sell me vapes so things can only get better from there!
