Fantastic celebration of @gawainsmum.bsky.social festschrift. Lovely to see so many colleagues and students current and past, which speaks to Helen's contribution as a scholar, colleague, and friend. @webstermedieval.bsky.social

Thank you Jools. I can always provide an alley and there's usually a mountain at the end of it. Sometimes dragons, sometimes not.

Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts. And I'm delighted you are enjoying it.
