Really enjoyed the listen and very grateful for the mention of my Waterloo Archive series. Really looking forward to doing the London to Waterloo tour with @NumberOneLondon in September 2022
Baron Von Neumann - 30 Dec. 1828 – I told Ly Jersey about M. de Lieven's attempts to get the D of W again under her influence. On one of the last occasions she cried & said to him: ‘I have been sorry to do this ever since you told me that when I cried I made myself look ugly.'

Oscar and Alfie have both inspected and approved #WaterlooWitnesses by @NumberOneLondon. It will now be kept well out of their reach when I'm not reading it, as we know that Oscar in particular has a fondness for a good book...

Princess Lieven, 17 January 1823 - "The Duke of Wellington stopped in town for a few hours yesterday. I asked him a few questions about Canning. He thinks he is over-active and too fond of correspondence - this from him!"

I'm often asked what books to buy on Waterloo. On today's Napoleonicist special I review two crackers: @NumberOneLondon's Waterloo Witnesses, and @CharlesEsdaile's Walking Waterloo, whilst also recommending the work of @GloverGareth and many more

@latelordchatham - Built by Poppers grandfather, John. Watch "The Lost Manor That Rivalled Buckingham Palace | Time Team | Timeline" on YouTube youtu.be/G80_anUsX_c
Pulled my hips out again. Much pain, 0 moving. So watching doc on DNA tests on Romanovs. And came up w/ idea for yet another Wellington book (unrelated to either Romanovs or DNA). Here's hoping that I live to 100 so I can get all of them written. Sigh.

Recorded a smashing video last night with @NumberOneLondon on the Sisters or fortune, and how they ended up at the centre of the social world of regency London in the wake of the napoleonic wars. youtube.com/channel/UCOmUMmJ…
Woke up way too early, made mistake of looking at Twitter, saw this retweet by @kejamieson_, made further mistake of reading the thread and now can't stop laughing. Listen to boring documentary on youtube in hopes of being bored back to sleep or screw it & start coffee maker?
