And that was that! (Or do I have some more up my sleeve..?)

Thank you so much, Helen Carr & HistFest - as you can see from this thread, I've really, *really* enjoyed getting stuck into this course.

Signing off (for now) with a glass of the good stuff.

“History itself is the study of the past. It’s not *the past*.” — Helen Carr

This course on the Plantagenets from HistFest has been great all around, but the Q&As alone were well worth the price of admission. So much interesting discussion.

As we near the close of , I hope you don't mind a shout out to HistFest, which I run.

House of Lilies is out today in the UK!
It's been called ‘a mighty, panoramic history’ in The Telegraph's 5* review and 'one of the most entertaining popular history books published in recent years' in the Times. Even I am pretty happy with it.

My paperback is out this week - it looks at how the natural world has shaped history; and how humanity has reshaped the environment (and climate) for better and for worse. It goes from the dawn of time to today/tomorrow and covers all corners of the earth. I hope you’ll enjoy !

An idle, immature and frankly stupid thread attempting to discredit the importance and integrity of history. I think this attempts to suggest we just chase our own tails and see how that goes.

As ever, Hilary Mantel: 'I’m not asking for pious humbug and smarmy reverence. I’m asking us to back off and not be brutes.'

I just got mistaken for my children’s nanny and I am so flattered. (I dont have a nanny- i think this means i look young and exuberant).

March shout-out to Magnolias, among the most ancient of flowering trees: up to c.95m yrs old.
They evolved long before bees did & were chiefly pollinated by beetles––thus the tough carpels & petals of their goblet-shaped flowers.
Magnolias bloom in both spring time & deep time.

Such a brilliant first lecture and Q&A - really looking forward to what Helen Carr has in store for the rest of the course! Lots to work on this week. (And yes, that *is* a new notebook.)
