Re-reading The Children of Green Knowe, a memory suddenly comes flooding back that, as a child, I decided to imitate Boggis by filling one pocket of my waistcoat with sugar (yes I wore waistcoats as a child, yes I know that's weird...)

I’m intrigued to learn of Roger White’s new book about Wroxeter because its focus is the cultural and social history of Wroxeter *as an archaeological site*; this is a great genre and I wish we had more books like this https://t.co/8QvwM8moRH

If you enjoyed all my #Coronation commentary you might like my book ‘Magic in Merlin’s Realm’, which explores in depth the magical thinking behind Britain’s royal history and rituals https://t.co/Cm17ICrpiV https://t.co/jrbYRVO2Sv

Great to see @RFMacLellan talking about the Knights Hospitaller in the latest @thetimeteam; I indexed his comprehensive book on the Hospitallers, which I highly recommend: https://t.co/cK1dFNQiEZ
