mary beard⁩ Last week I finally saw a section of Hadrian’s wall. I can’t thank my classics teacher, long gone, but thanks to him and historians like you I enjoyed it and appreciated it—a pile of stones—sans further elucidation. The knowledge a teacher imparts lasts.

Finally got to see ⁦@HolmwoodGlasgow⁩ and it was magnificent. As a mental break during lockdown, I used the 2m of greek key gimp and fabric from years ago to recover the derelict footstool. Not sure Thomson would approve, but it will always remind me of his house.

Two nails found under plaster during a repair ⁦The Warner House⁩. 5 years of research trying to understand 18th c wall repairs & these appear & are similar in height to extant paneling—it’s the 1st solid indication that the room may have had paneling. Maybe not but still..

Well we couldn’t have a physical exhibition this year ⁦The Warner House⁩, so with help from ⁦New Hampshire Humanities⁩ & the ⁦National Endowment for the Humanities⁩ we converted our weekly glassware postings into panels & each week a new one is placed on the fence for the public—eventually 25 panels.

The garden is open ⁦The Warner House⁩ and with help from ⁦New Hampshire Humanities⁩ & ⁦National Endowment for the Humanities⁩ we were able to create panels for visitors that tell short histories of the occupants and the enslaved who passed through this house.

Descendants just returned the upper piece of Spitalfields silk to ⁦The Warner House⁩ after 88 years. It was part of the 1932 inheritance dispersal. Both pieces are Spitalfields silk from the 1730s. The lower piece has seen more light. The colors and silver shimmer.

The calm before the storm, a brisk morning on 2nd of March 2020 ⁦Stirling Castle⁩. Brilliant, foreboding, and brooding—spot on. Wanted to visit for years and glad we pushed ourselves to do it.
