Colin experienced first hand the loss of democracy in 1930s Germany; he fought back as a super elite commando in the British forces. He fought for freedom. "I am no hero," he once told me. Now you can decide for yourself This is his story... Yale University Press Londonπ
An empty #library is such an atmospheric space to perform in. 6 #SOE themed talks delivered today. 6 more tomorrow. Come to Belsay at War to find out more. English Heritage #livinghistory #ww2 #educate #perform
Today I made a road trip to Revival Vintage. Every #ww2 #author & performer needs a #wardrobe crammed with #1940s goodies, and this place is bursting with them. I had to exercise alot of self control, but came away with some gorgeous items & a huge #wishlist!
The #paralympics means the return of The Last Leg. Hurray! #ParisParalympics #ParisParalympics2024 #hanssolo
I have had the worst week imaginable. So it was great to reset the clock to 'me' time and enjoy an awesome evenings ride with Dr. Caitlyn Brinkman-Schwartz. #horses #historyshorse #farmersbloodhounds #Waltonhall
A fantastic morning at St Hughes College #Oxford delivering a lecture on #SOE in #1942 for Road Scholar. Wonderful and engaged audience and some amazing feedback. #missionfrance #author #lecture #lovemyjob
Not only have the stewards on #gwr asked 'anything from the trolley dear' I was also offered pumpkin pasties or every flavour beans. This has totally made my day! They also thought I was 30. A house point to GWR! J.K. Rowling #harrypotter #griffindor #hogwartsexpress
