Sweet treats (and more) from Harrogate

Placing our Bettys order for before Easter. Lots of usual things for us, like chocolate sachertorte and fondant fancies. Plus a dark chocolate Easter egg for me. But also getting something very very unusual!

Taking stock

After submitting another academic journal paper (wish me luck!) briefly pausing to take stock of others in progress. 4 more in development; all Scottish history; 16th, 17th, 18th & 19th centuries; genealogy & court history, legal history, black history, music history & popular culture. Lots to do!

Researching, writing and submitting these - including dealing with all the *fun* of peer review - as a sole author is *interesting*. But something I enjoy, and will keep doing for as long as I can.
