Sometimes people invite me to talk to them about History. Not sure why. But it's nice to think that I might have a few interesting things to say, especially about stuff like pill-boxes, war memorials, the 8th Air Force, Anglo-American relations. And running. Sometimes I try to tell my daughter about these things, but she just rolls her eyes, looks despairing, and issues me with various orders and instructions. She's five.
​
I've given invited talks to, amongst others, the 2nd Air Division Memorial Library (Norwich), BBC Radio 4 (Four Thought), the National Archives (London), 8th in the East Festival and Sulgrave Manor. Plus lots and lots of different schools.

If you want me to come and talk to a school group, local history society, conference etc. just drop me a line at s.edwards@mmu.ac.uk
