Something for the weekend ...

Over in 'Not the Guardian Family Section' I'm talking about family skeletons (appropriately for Halloween): http://sarahjasmon.com/good-life-make-home/ (thank you, Sarah).

Meanwhile, if you're in the UK, it would be great to see you at the Thames Valley History Festival, which starts today. There are some fantastic events http://www.thamesvalleyhistoryfestival.org/events-13/ including a vintage coffee morning on November 16th where Tim Lynch and I will be talking about WW2: Home Front to War. Cake, jazz singers, history - what more could you ask for? ;) Hope to see some of you there x
