Hello, Ecclesiasticals,

I’m having a day off today following an intense few days at the Listed Property show. The company I work for had a stand there so, together with a fellow historic buildings colleague, we spent two full days in Olympia. It was a fantastic new days though very tiring—and my talk on the retrofitting of listed buildings went down very well.

So, that’s a quick life update. But as I’m still writing about the clergy behaving badly for my next book, I thought this might make an interesting post. Enjoy!
