Spent an inspiring and humbling evening at the York Cares Golden Moments awards ceremony, hearing some wonderful stories of how local businesses engage with the community in York. Pretty stunned to receive an award for an archaeological aspirations session!

Yesterday was my last day in this amazing place! King's Manor has been very special to me for a long time. The last five years here have been inspiring, challenging, full of wonderful colleagues, friends, and brilliant students. Sad to be leaving, but new adventures are imminent!

Well hello London! What a glorious start to my first day at The British Museum. Super nervous, super excited, and super honoured to spend the next few years working with the collections here. Onwards!
