It’s here! And it matches the colour of my living room! A huge thank you to everyone who helped get to this point. It is quite surreal to have it sitting on my shelf. If you, too, want a copy (matching walls not provided) head over to edinburghuniversitypress.com/book-transat...

April was the month for squeezing in some new research. Trips to the British Museum and the Royal Collections Trust Prints and Drawings Room at Windsor Castle, and a new notebook have fully awakened that new project feeling!
