Okay my lovelies, #WatchingYou is out on August 28, and I wouldn't lie to you, it's actually a pretty darned good book. But because I don't have Richard Osman's marketing budget, Louise Minchin's TV platform, Richard Coles' publicist or any other celebrity writer's stranglehold

Queen Bee What is your source for the tanks and the kidnapping please? I highly recommend Kate Werran's "An American Uprising in the Second World War England" Kate Werran for an account of events in Launceston.

Amazing news and fantastic to see another forgotten legend’s story brought into view and honoured….

These US soldiers walked out of court and into jail 82 years ago today for mutinying against segregation in Launceston, Cornwall. Isn’t it time to memorialise their struggle? #AnAmericanUprising #onthisday; #BlackHistoryMonth; #BHM; #BlackHistoryFacts; #BlackHistory365; #history
