@The_Tolkienist @Tolkieniano Not terribly informative. Is “c. 1912” a wild guess or more than that? The posed group photo (non-marching, in jackets) is 1907.

Partecipants in the Officiers Training Corps programme at King Edward School 8n Birmingham. Am I the only one that sees the similarity? #Tolkien

Heartfelt thanks from @LeeChildReacher to his old English and drama teacher @KESBham Mr Parslew, co-star of my authorised biography #TheReacherGuy - see especially chapter 17, ‘Gentleman Jim’.
Here is my interview with Lee aka Jim Grant (1973) for @tes tes.com/news/lee-child…

It’s #WorldTeachersDay! A huge thank you to all of our current and former teachers, who between them have inspired generations of KES boys.

Loved doing this interview with @LeeChildReacher for @tes on a subject very close to my heart ... And reading his school reports from @KESBham for the #TheReacherGuy was great fun. “Paddles his own canoe.”

‘If I had my way, teachers would be paid more than doctors. I’d make them the highest-paid professionals, the most valued members of society, so that the brightest and best would be competing to qualify,’ @LeeChildReacher tells @drheathermartin tes.com/news/lee-child…

I’ve been writing today. Uppermost in my mind have been @HinterlandNF @UEAArchives @KEArchive & of course #TheReacherGuy himself. I am struck by how much the archivist has in common with Jack Reacher ... (Plus an archival scrap of my own from @LeeChildReacher #ThrillerFest 2017)

Many have been using this period of lockdown to get fitter. How about trying a form of exercise which existed before the advent of mainstream competitive sport in education - the Swedish Drill? Read about it in our newest @KEArchive blog post bit.ly/2CclfeO

Great response from a chief exec. Outlines actions in a non-defensive tone and apologises for lack of communication 👏👏

Thanks Debbie for challenging us. Just to clarify; 1) The RSA global made a response to BLM building on that of RSA US which we placed on our website and sent to every Fellow 2) We have been working with our staff and Board on a long term diversity and inclusion plan which....

Great photos.

Well if you cannot get over to the old Western Front you can still connect. With good company @captpugwash67 @Delville1916 and Michael Edwards I walked about 9 miles(24,500 steps) across Cannock Chase. So many WW1 connections. Cemeteries, camps, rifle buttes and more. Continued.

From #Tolkien's "Progress in Bimble Town":
"Sometimes late, when motor-bikes

one hears faintly (if one likes)
the sea still at it on the beach…
gnawing paper, trying to grind
a broth of bottles, packets, tins,
before a new day comes with more…"
