I know - there are too many special offers around at this time of the year BUT that doesn't mean to say that this one isn't an absolutely amazing bargain. loadesofhistory.substack.com/p/big-newsNOTE: Substack ‘special offers’ work via a web browser or e-mail newsletter, not their App. Apparently the App folk take too many commissions and so Substack disables this. Once you are subscribed though, the App is a great way to read articles and works well.How we spend our time and what we read, matters. I’m inviting you all to spend a little of that time with me. On Substack I can write more fully and thoughtfully about the topics that many of you are interested in – History (Military, Social and Natural), Dogs, Horses, Swords, Bows, Armour, Castles, and all sorts of other stuff.Substack appears in a well-designed, online-magazine format, where you get easy visual access to the archive.

The hope is that if enough of you chip in, I’ll be able to build it to a full article, podcast, video service.Meanwhile thanks to so many of you for your interest so far – it seems to be grabbing a lot of people’s attention and I’m really pleased with the response so far. ...
