@GavJacobson I watched the 3rd episode last night, and found it to be defined by masterful, emotionally-rich storytelling.

I read this article this morning, and found I couldn't take it remotely seriously.

@eynsham1 Hi there Joan. My website is currently broken, but once it's fixed I'll send you the link.

@hannahrosewoods @Seb_Falk It starts off as solid, enjoyable TV... and eventually reaches a level of deep, novelistic storytelling that results in you sitting in the pub holding with the words, 'Oh you HAVE to watch The Wire...'

@hannahrosewoods 'Unadorned water' has a nice ring to it. "One unadorned water please, barman!"

@stephenkb It was finding your articles on the NS website that prompted me to get a subscription to the magazine.

I guess I'll keep it going regardless!

Sorry, @sweeneyfiddle, my no. 1 this year was The Birth of Robin Hood by @boden_jon and @squeezyjohn

[Will Hazell @Willfindswords]

@KrisDrever Apparently my most frequently played song on Spotify this year has been 'Crown of London'. So, um — congrats Kris!

[Will Hazell @Willfindswords]

Sorry @KrisDrever, this year it was apparently The Old Wagon Way by @sweeneyfiddle.

@MichaelSadgrove @jonronson The idea that injustice and insanity can fall so ruthlessly on a decent person is a nightmare. But I'm in awe of Kelly Michaels.. she sounds like a 'big' person, psychologically/emotionally.

@LordGrimdark dude you're so good at your job

[Will Hazell @Willfindswords]

@matthewsyed @kjhgodfrey @n1ck_alexander @BBCSounds @we_are_novel_ This is terrific — you are a highly talented broadcaster 👈

@kensabroadhurst Found it! On 23rd October 1838. Page 135 in my copy. Of course 'conversed in Cornish' could just mean Cornish dialect.

[Will Hazell @Willfindswords]

Music happening.

@Kernow_King Politics is now purely a culture war. The Tories have positioned themselves as the-party-of-people-who-think-all-this-trans-stuff-and-BLM-malarky-is-too-far-we-just-need-common-sense-like-the-old-days.

Competency, corruption, nastiness... none of it comes into it any more.

@Exculturobur124 I've got into the habit of doing my weekly shop in Tesco and then lugging it up Jacobs Ladder. Not entirely sure why I started doing it, but it's a tradition now!

@thehistoryguy I can currently see HMS Tamar from my flat! It's docked in Falmouth.

It's not the best photo, but it's on the left, in front of RFA Mounts Bay.

[Will Hazell @Willfindswords]

@hatmandu Excuses, excuses – it's only 250 miles! 😉

[Will Hazell @Willfindswords]

Hello person — you might like to know that I'm starting a historical walking tour in Falmouth next week. History meets passion meets imagination meets tourists.

@kensabroadhurst Alrighty! I'll see if I can track it down :)

Barclay's journal is also a great read. He shares Caroline's warmth and curiosity.

(Also, can I just say I thought the first 'question' you had after your talk was so incredibly rude. I wanted to whack him with a big mallet)

[Will Hazell @Willfindswords]

@kensabroadhurst Hi there Kensa — I've just watched your story cafe talk, and very much enjoyed it!

I have a vague memory that Barclay Fox (of Falmouth), mentions meeting two Cornish speakers in his journal (in the 1840s). I can try and find it if you haven't already?

[Will Hazell @Willfindswords]

@KrisDrever Thought you might not be displeased by this comment during the Spell Songs Concert last night...

[Will Hazell @Willfindswords]

@hannahrosewoods That's holey unacceptable.
