Coming back to X (briefly) just to say how awful this news is for #museum sector and all of the highly-skilled, specialist staff affected by these cuts. Awful awful awful.

Attention all #museumfreelance and #heritagefreelance pals. Three contracts up for grabs on our current military history project 👇👇

Exciting things are happening with the King's Own Yorkshire Light Infantry collection! If you want to be involved apply for this job.

Con: you have to work with me when I return from secondment
Pro: I always bring excellent scran to the office!

There's been a lot of news stories lately about leaked WhatsApp messages.

The latest involves our creepy dolls...

One perk of having a very talented workmate.. He makes your vision of your cat dressed in an outfit inspired by the Queen Elizabeth I Darnley portrait come to life 😂 Now to find the most gaudy, OTT gold frame possible and convince him to set this up as a business with me..

It's been such a pleasure working on this project, particularly finding out more about Gill Coultard MBE-Lioness #56, working with excellent community researchers and seeing young people produce some fantastic illustrations with Phil Sheppard Lots more to come!

Thank you to Laura Darley for sharing this wonderful picture of our beautiful cemetery 😍

My memories just threw this up for me. 2 years later and I'm still not over it. Might add it to my LinkedIn profile as a testimonial.. 😂
