I went to "History East: A Festival of History at Queen Mary" last night & loved the "History & Fiction" panel with Paterson Joseph, Sarah Waters, Stella Tillyard & Philippa Gregory. I even asked the panel a question & their answers really motivated me to keep going with my own writing 🥰

As part of a current Research Forum series, Prof Matthew McCormack came to the Brunel Museum today and gave a fascinating talk on "Studying the History of Boots & Shoes". I've learned a lot about the importance of footwear and look forward to diving deeper into the subject with Matthew's book 😊

It's worth pulling this out ... So much in fashion history has been passed on via word of mouth or uncited assertion in text. I'm always interested in finding out when the received wisdom is correct/comes from actual memory of the period and when it's askew. 🗃️🪡

Off for Christmas? Spare a thought for Gilbert Blount, Thames Tunnel intern. When he requested a Christmas holiday, the reply was stern: "Is pudding & dancing to be put into consideration against a week’s study and attention? [...] Success does not depend upon Holidays..." Find out more here:

Happy 209th book birthday to one of my favourite Jane Austen novels! 🥳❤️ Am wondering if Emma Brunel (aka my MC) might have liked it as well. She was nearly 12 when "Emma" was first published, so the chances that she read the book at some point in her life are quite high... ☺️

I went to see A Sherlock Carol at the Marylebone Theatre yesterday and it was absolutely fantastic. ❤️ In the play two worlds collide when a grown up "Tiny Tim" asks Sherlock Holmes to investigate the death of his patron, Ebenezer Scrooge. At Christmas. The Game is afoot 🔍🎩🎅🎄

Murder at the Medieval Mill Medieval millers were not always well liked and it’s not uncommon to read in criminal court records that a miller had been killed. This person leaving a windmill sure looks like they regret doing something nefarious at the mill with the mallet they're holding. 🧵1/5

My book club's December read is "Julia" by Sandra Newman, which is a re-telling of Orwell's dystopian novel "1984". I find this line particularly chilling and really like to avoid living in such a horrible world: 😬👇
