@TealeFredrica OK. Annoyingly, my scanner is refusing to co-operate this morning, but I have taken a set of photos. Legible, at any rate. How best to send them to you?
@MedievalFemina Thank you Louise, Adrian, and the Lincoln volunteers, for your hard work in organising the conference, and making sure that it all happened on time and in good order. Well done, and I hope you’re having a well-deserved rest.
@StephanieLahey Candied peel, I think. The peel of oranges and lemons, preserved in sugar. Now usually bought already cut up into little bits for adding to cakes etc, but I remember my mother using large pieces like those, the peel of half an orange, which she would cut up herself.
@medievaljews I have calendared or at least made spreadsheets of several of the receipt rolls from the 1250s and 1260s. Give me a shout if that might save you some effort.
Relaxing, having finished checking 800 pages of proofs for the long-awaited edition of the 1259 pipe roll. Pipe roll fans will have to contain their impatience until December.

Thanks to the Pipe Roll Society for inviting me to deliver their annual lecture at The National Archives yesterday, and particularly to @pablodiablo74 for setting up the display of documents.
About this time next week, if you happen to be at The National Archives, you could drop in to the Pipe Roll Society annual lecture, about pipe rolls, oddly enough:

@medievaljews It also provides a new unit of measurement. The Times reported that some of the stones were ‘as heavy as a panda’.
