One day in Ypres on a family pilgrimage in 1931. The visitor’s relative was wounded at 3rd #Ypres, died of his wounds and was buried in Lijssenthoek Military Cemetery. The city and its buildings had only been partially rebuilt at this stage, 13 years after the Armistice. #ww1

A question to fellow #histfic writers: are any of you in peer review/mentoring groups? Or have you used professional manuscript assessment services? Would be grateful for any recommendations. #amwriting #historicalfiction

A friend (VERY) kindly gave me her unwanted #greenhouse. It took me four weekends to deconstruct, transport and rebuild this, but it's my new happy place. Suspect I might be living in it most of this autumn. (Yes, Ted is rolling his eyes.) 💚🌿🍁 #gardening

Ted and I collected #autumn colours on our afternoon mooch. #dogwalk 🐕

Tufty moustache...

Been doing lots of tidying-up jobs in the garden this weekend. The light has been beautiful. #autumn

#Autumn has definitely been switched on here in SW France.

Happened upon this series of wartime adverts for Yardley London UK today. Published in 1944, the text makes much of 'naturalness' and 'simplicity'. (‘They appear in war-time packings nowadays, and you may have to search a little for them.') #WW2 #fashionhistory The British Newspaper Archive

(Plunged down this rabbit hole as I asked myself: ‘Could a character feasibly be gifted Yardley’s lavender talcum powder in 1944?’ #asyoudo #amwriting #histfic)

I’ve binge-watched #RiotWomen over the past two nights and have loved it - super script, stonking soundtrack and too many stellar performances to pick one out… but… Anne Reid. 💔PLEASE say you’ve commissioned a second series, BBC. 🙏 You have, yeah? BBC Riot Women

October light...

Ted and I collected shades of purple on our afternoon #dogwalk... and said a 'Bonjour' to the donkeys. 🐕 🫏
