So often History writing continues to be about powerful, wealthy, influential people. The lives that most interest me are the millions whose voices were barely heard even in their own time. I attend closely to eight of them in #Lifescapes, just out now: https://t.co/sltmFqu7UX

So I didn't quite make it up for dawn and the #hedgemorris (https://t.co/Qthu9foyqL), but here is some music for #MayDay, played on my 100-year-old and not-quite-in-tune banjo, sitting by the May blossoms. Doing my bit to bring the summer in (I hope).

[Richard Blakemore @historywomble]

It appears from the weather today that summer is not, in fact, about to come in.

The only solution I can think of is more seasonal encouragement by means of the banjo. Surely that will work.

Really excited that my first trade book will be coming out this year with @TheHistoryPress - Enemies of All: The Rise and Fall of the Pirates. You can preorder a copy here: https://t.co/qg5feQMotu

This colourful map was recently viewed #InTheSearchroom. It is a survey of the Holt estate, Wokingham, by John Smith (no date, late 18th century). We love the attention to detail including all the different buildings. #ColourfulArchives #Archive30

Delighted that the first review of 'Lifescapes' is now out. Very grateful to Daniel for his perceptive and thought-provoking comments. @cambUP_History @CUPBookshop

[Daniel Breeze @DanOwainBreeze]

My review of Jeremy Burchardt's "Lifescapes" (CUP) for @CultSocHistory is now available online. An exemplary historical study of the emotional and physical experience of landscape. It's a wondrous book, contemplative and empathetic throughout.

The #IllegalMigrationBill is unnecessary and brutal. There is an effective and compassionate way to stop small boat crossings and save lives. Watch & share this video #SafePassage https://t.co/fPAqzqlDOU

6 months ago the Pakistan accord was set up to ensure the safety of garment workers in Pakistan. But @boohoo are still dragging their feet on signing it. I stand with Pakistan workers - @boohoo protect your workers, #SignThePakistanAccord now!
