Thankyou postman, and ⁦Joanne Harris⁩. That’s my evening sorted. Contented sigh 😌 #BrokenLight #NewBook #EarlyNight

My husband makes similar complaints. Apparently I have too many books. I’m with Bette.

I’m giving my first paper at a panel on Quakers at the Family Archives and their Afterlives conference Birmingham University on 28/6. First draft written. So nervous.

Ooo that’s me! So excited to be working with these amazing historians.

The Return Of Benjamin Lay – Finborough Theatre. Waiting for the play to start. I’ve come up to town with my lovely Quaker friends. Now to bring John Farmer to similar attention and return to Quaker Unity ⁦@MarcusRediker⁩ #QuakerHistory finboroughtheatre.co.uk/production/the…

So yet again, STEM is considered more valuable than the arts, or agriculture. I’m really concerned that this government knows the price of everything and the value of nothing. Rip off courses? Ooo I’m dead angry 😡. It’s not all about 6 digit salaries. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politi…

Fantastic Heritage role available in Maldon Essex. ⁦Maeldune Centre⁩ #HistoryJobs

Brits of a certain age will get it ... 🤨

There are no words. As the world burns…. What a complete knob.

SB Hydrogen out for an evening cruise

One of these tiny little marmalade fur babies will be coming to live at my house in December. A new brother for Georgie and Lyra my 2 year old black cats. Ideas for names would be appreciated. #CatsOnX

First chapter submitted to PhD board on Mary Farmer’s 1725 Quaker women’s expedition from Essex to Friedrichstadt Germany. She was reaching out a beleaguered Quaker Community. A year later they’re all gone to Pennsylvania or England. She was 60. What a woman. #QuakerHistory

Our fur-baby Paddington says hi. He arrived at Christmas but was shy about tweeting. He loves Xmas trees, bubbles, the garden and comfy blankets. #CatsOnTwitter

A wonderful day at Friends House in the library, cafe and bookshop. What a great place to spend the day researching 18thC Quaker ‘Publick Friends’. #QuakerHistory

I have to share this. So amazing to see them perform again, and my favourite song too.

My literature review is finally underway. Life of a PhD candidate… #QuakerHistory

Come and meet Syd Moore at my lovely museum 12/7/24. Tickets from me in advance. May be a few on the door but no promises!

I am moving to the blue butterfly where I will be millershistorychat. See you there. No more posts here for the duration of the insanity.
