Incredible discovery on the TNA Web Archive... there is an archived version of the 'Love Chips' campaign from 2009, featuring a song (and clipped up ringtone) from Keith Chegwin all about chips... and the download still works! #obsessed #chips

Happy New Year from Malaysia... 2025 is the year of the [academic] book so maybe justifies the mad fire letters, but here's hoping it's a good one...

Trawling through some PRO correspondence from almost a century ago, and apparently literally nothing has changed...

Detail of a manuscript page with fancy pen strokes to make an initial L ornamented with leaves and berries. The L is decorated with a man's face in profile looking left from the up-stroke, a generic face looking upwards from a horizontal flourish, and a small impish face with a jester's hat tucked between the end of the L and the start of 'ectres'.

For this year's advent calendar (and my 1st on Bluesky), let's do manuscript faces! Most of the archival documents I look at are pretty plain, but this volume had a particularly enthusiastic scribe. On day 1, we've got a delightful little imp sneaking up on the other inhabitants of the initial L.

First evening talk I've been involved in ages last Thurs, but so much fun to invite Dan Jones to TNA to chat all things Henry V, with a killer doc display to boot... some highlights in Dan's substack here danjones.substack.com

Lovely little sketch plan of #Chertsey I came across today, part of the 1650 parliamentary survey of former Crown lands. The viewpoint appears to be roughly that taken from Thorpe Park... ๐Ÿคฃ (E 317/Surrey/10)

Like Henry VIII's commissioners, Shadow and I undertook our own mini Valor Ecclesiasticus survey of the lands of Chertsey Abbey this afternoon, from the Abbey site, down Monk's Lane, and finding remnants of the medieval almonry in the surviving landscape...

There is also a partial card index to Chancery clerks in the Map Room arranged by name, but it's not comprehensive really. It was compiled from the authorisation of Chancery writs. Happy to check it if helpful

This is perhaps my new favourite literary line of all time (from Zadie Smith's excellent new book "The Fraud")...
