Once again, we see plainly the disgrace of Scotland’s squandered North Sea windfall whereas Norway invested in long-term programmes designed to yield sustainable Haalands

Finally got around to setting up an Instagram account for the family cottage in Norway, if you fancy a nosey around. I can promise lots of trees, wood chopping, cinnamon buns, lakes, and all-round Scandinavian-ness. Find me at @acottageinnorway, or scan this ⬇️🇳🇴
Great chat with Profs Bill & Brian at Historians Are People Too podcast about my very unconventional journey into military history... Growing up in a mining town, legal career, taking a detour into makeup artistry, and somehow ending up as a military historian 😆 open.spotify.com/episode/4SNl...
Can anyone recommend a history of mine warfare that deals with all types of mines please? Most seem limited either to naval or land-based mines - I'm looking for something which encompasses mine warfare generally. Thank you!
