This was fab!
Predictably superb weekend at #SHP25! Thank you to the organisers and presenters for such an inspiring conference. Left with lots of new ideas - excited to process and action them! Lovely to spend a weekend with such enthusiastic people - a reminder of why history teaching is just the best job ever!
Finally moved across to BlueSky after the excellent (as always) #HAconf25
Along with the predictably overwhelming number of exciting ideas, this conference also resulted in a list of so many books with *MUST READ* in my notes that I had an amazon basket total of £193.78... Saved (some) for later...
