Had an amazing day at The Retreat taking archives out to art workshops for our Mentally Fit York funded project. Our artists Stephen and Griselda have created so many beautiful responses to our mental health collections too! These will be added to the Uni Art Collection! @uoyalumni.bsky.social

Back from a trip up north to visit family. Also finally managed to visit Tullibardine Chapel and @leightonlibrary.bsky.social (who let me handle a 17th century book published in Aberdeen!). Would thoroughly recommend both if you're out and about in Perthshire.

Well, I'm pleased to report Team @uoyborthwick.bsky.social completed the Great York Walk yesterday in 9hrs 45 min (incl. breaks). Very tired and sore this morning but it's worth it for the cause! A massive THANK YOU to everyone who donated to Mentally Fit York! yustart.hubbub.net/p/lauray-wal...

How did @gbrannanarchive.bsky.social and I get to the night before another Great York Walk already?! Thank you to everyone who has donated to the Mentally Fit York fund so far - I really appreciate it! If you'd still like to donate there is time. Thank you! yustart.hubbub.net/p/lauray-wal....

Just over ONE WEEK to go before @gbrannanarchive.bsky.social and I take on another Great York Walk for Mentally Fit York! And it's going to be a warm one - eek! If you can spare anything at all there is still time to sponsor me. Please head to yustart.hubbub.net/p/lauray-wal... to donate! Thank you!

Well, it's true! The #GreatYorkWalk is back for 2025, and I have another 40km to hoof in the company of @garybrannan.bsky.social! This will be my fourth year in a row! I know times are tough, but if you can spare anything to sponsor me I'd really appreciate it! yustart.hubbub.net/p/lauray-wal...

Spent a brilliant morning with @uoyborthwick.bsky.social's conservator Catherine and @uoylibrary.bsky.social's Sam in the Creativity Lab supporting a Introduction to 3D Scanning workshop for students, using artefacts from our collections. The results were brilliant!

Day trip to London yesterday with @ejgrimmer.bsky.social to see the @britishlibrary.bsky.social Medieval Women exhibition. It was absolutely fantastic! Still getting my head round everything on display. Spending today reading the accompanying book and drinking tea. The perfect Sunday.

Had a fantastic day off today at Durham Cathedral! Not been since I was a kid, but so much to see! The museum highlights and cathedral tours were definitely both worth doing. Happy times!
