I have been in the happy situation of being commissioned to do a few private tours and talks over the last month or so, hence radio silence.

But now I am venturing out into the free market with a few tours. Apart from my staple ones at Highgate Cemetery and Somerset House, I'll be exploring the old, now-concealed landscape of Clerkenwell and tracing Samuel Pepys' steps around the old City of London.

I hope to see you on one of them - until then, have fun.
