Start your day with Phil Collins strolling around the stage like he’s speaking at a tech conference before hitting one of the most iconic drum fills ever

I've just hosted and chaired a FHSC meeting via Zoom from my car in Cherwell services on M40. Used phone hotspot & snazzy new in car laptop charger.

Great conference as always. Thanks to everyone involved

Yeah - well done Paul Chiddicks

The AFewForgottenWomen Friday has started, good luck to all our volunteers, looking forward to reading the stories and join us on Zoom if you can

I’ve spent a very agreeable afternoon chatting to 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿Margaret Roberts🐄 and other members of FHSC. The town of Northwich was our focus, which meant lots of salt-mining and salt-boiling, and watermen working the Weaver Navigation out to Runcorn and Liverpool.

If you listen to audio books then you will understand my angst this morning - just started the 17th book in a series and Audible UK 🎧 have changed the narrator. It's now a completely different set of characters, not sure I can listen anymore 🙉

First #ForgottenWomen from schools for the deaf have their stories told. wix.to/BjeKVvu #DisabilityHistory #WomensHistory #FamilyHistory
