I'm indescribably proud to have graduated with a PhD in Conservation and Restoration yesterday evening, in the beautiful surroundings of Lincoln Cathedral, watched over by @uolhumanities.bsky.social colleagues, and alongside @uolconservation.bsky.social students. A perfect day, that I'll treasure.

I see your Picasso potato, @lyndaskipper.bsky.social and raise you a French bean growing through a hole in a leaf.

In my next life I'd like to be symmetrical, so I don't have to trace off pattern pieces twice and make adjustments to each side separately 🤬

A bit of industrial heritage today at Papplewick Pumping Station. Each of these beams weighs 13 tonnes, but the grace of their movement is hypnotic.

Tea with Charlotte Hayes of Covent Garden in my garden this afternoon. Because even though I've completed my PhD I'm not ready to leave the 18th century.

Yesterday's rain made weeding the allotment squash patch and planting out gherkins so much easier (if muddier) this morning. The leeks and baby corn planted before the heatwave are looking OK too. Hope your plot also enjoyed the weather @jimchesh.bsky.social @isochesh.bsky.social ☔🌱

I really enjoyed learning about Raku ceramic techniques today, with friends. The second (white) pot is partially decorated with fur from our pet ferret, Diesel ❤️

Revisiting gender theory in the early throes of a cold was not on my bingo card for this weekend. But the thesis corrections need to be done, so on I go 🤧

I had no idea what my first non-working and non-PhD'ing day would involve when I woke up this morning. But I definitely didn't have seeing a Lely and a Michaelangelo on my bingo card! 🤯
Oh, and there was tapestry too 😁

1️⃣ Fizz was non-alcoholic
2️⃣ Choice of 'vase' was between the jug or a conical flask. What can I say. It's a conservation thing.

I'm incredibly proud to confirm that I've passed my #PhD Viva today with minor corrections.
I'd like to thank my examiners, @historymatt.bsky.social, Mary Brooks, and Erin Bell, for a robust but friendly experience, and for their very positive feedback about my thesis and Viva performance.
