Back to what has become over the last three years another home.

Thanks to the team at @gladlib.bsky.social for assisting with my research trip this week, consulting the Glynne-Gladstone manuscripts, helping me get through a mammoth amount of material. Now to actually write it up into the dissertation…

Thanks to everyone who participated in the “Lived Experiences of the Westminster Parliament in History” conference that I co-organised with the fantastic @chloechallender.bsky.social - we enjoyed a wide range of papers spanning from medieval Westminster to the present day

While I didn’t present a paper (due to my ongoing moratorium), it was fantastic to attend the @bsecs.bsky.social annul conference this week at Pembroke College Oxford. It’s always a joy to meet fellow 18th century scholars and to hear insights from the cutting edge of the field.

A fantastic celebration hosted by @emeccwarwick.bsky.social and the History and PAIS departments today at Warwick to celebrate the varied and prolific career of Professor Mark Philp. I am truly fortunate to have his guidance and support for my current PhD journey.

Had a fantastic evening on Tuesday presenting a paper at the Long Eighteenth Century Workshop run by Cambridge PhDs. Two brilliant papers by my co-presenters that captured a range of aspects of eighteenth century Britain.

The manuscript room in the National Library of Scotland easily has the most scenic view of all archives I have so far visited.

The house and studio of Hans Heysen (1877-1968) in the Adelaide Hills, a renowned South Australian landscape artist, conservationist and gumtree enthusiast.
