Just polishing off and editing a bit of writing and wanted to share my admiration for the brilliant work of Maude Clarke. I hadn’t realised before that she died so young, what a loss.

Many thanks @RG1253! I’m currently preparing my presentation on the same subject for the @MortimerSociety at the Tower on 1 August to celebrate the anniversary - noxious potions and rope ladders at the ready…

Catching up on the excellent new volume @MortimerSociety. Special mention for @AlicePerrers's chapter on Roger Mortimer's escape from the Tower. Superb historical detective work, reconstructing Roger's feat of derring-do. I think it deserves a 700th anniversary toast on 1 August!
ALT First page of contents of Mortimer History Society volume, with contributions fro Emma Cavell, David Stephenson, John Kenyon, Laura Tompkins, Barbara Wright, Andy King, Paul Dryburgh, and Patrick McDonagh.
ALT Second page of contents, with contributions from Chris Given-Wilson, Ian Mortimer, and Joanna Laynesmith.
ALT First page of Laura Tompkins' chapter, 'The escape of Roger Mortimer from the Tower of London, 1323'

Very impressed with @IMC_Leeds providing a lactation room. The user group may be small but it makes a massive difference to making the event inclusive for new mums 👍

Slightly later than usual I’m on my way to join the action @IMC_Leeds. Feeling lots of emotions and mum guilt spending my first nights away from the bub since he was born, but looking forward to catching up with friends old and new and hearing about the latest research 🤓
