It's Just Claire S

I write satirical medieval notices for the Parish Council of Middle Woe (someone has to), and dig up the strange, forgotten and frankly bizarre corners of real history that didn't make it into the textbooks. The thread running through it all?

A love of ordinary people, dry humour, and the absurd reality of how people actually lived.

Come and have a look around.
