My best friend just sent me this. It’s lovely when someone knows exactly how to appeal to your very niche interests…..

As a sucker for #Victorian entertainment souvenirs, I couldn’t resist buying this (thankfully cheap) battered and totally ephemeral CDV-sized paper souvenir from Blondin’s rope walking month at Islington’s Agricultural Hall, January 1863. #Circus #19thCentury

Looking forward to doing this later this week

Hey Newcastle! I am arrogantly doing TWO shows at The Stand Newcastle both on Saturday 27th. It seems like the least you can do is come to one of them. The show is called Nevermore and it makes slanderous claims about people from Co. Durham who you might have met.

THIS THURSDAY! Still time to sign up for what promises to be a great conversation on Wollstonecraft, motherhood, and writing! Free, online, all welcome! Sign up in tweet:

Join us this Thursday at 2pm to learn more about what makes a successful history podcast. This is a great chance to learn from experienced podcasters Dr Bob Nicholson (Killing Victoria) & Dave Musgrove (HistoryExtra).

Event is free, but please register here: eventbrite.co.uk/e/podcasting-h…
