Returned to Harewood House one last time before the Austen Meets Turner exhibition closes. What an honour to have played a small part in this extraordinary display. Today, I explored the incredible walled garden!

Wending my way back to Kings X & reflecting on the last two days. What an enriching, thought-provoking time we’ve had at #BARS2025. All thanks to the wonderful Romantic people of the world (truly, folk travelled far & wide!) More to follow but for now: team William or team Dorothy?

It’s been a while since I’ve shared on here…I’ve been busy @rigb.org helping run the summer workshops programme with the wonderful team at the Young Scientists Centre 🤓

But I’m back because #BARS2025 starts today!! See all you beautiful BARS folk in Cambridge shortly!

I’m very excited to be in Oxford for the Before Earthrise Symposium, organised by @carolineanjali.bsky.social, & can’t wait to present my paper tomorrow! Today, I indulged in a nostalgic wander around all my old undergrad haunts & discovered some new spots too…Oxford is a special place ✨

Just a woman in her beloved landscape reading about women and landscape, thinking about identity (my own and theirs) in relation to landscape. Happy Friday! 🌳🌾🌿

Turner’s well-used paint box & his ‘Two Figures in a Storm’ were my personal highlights. Simply astounding. Plus some other cloudy things…but you’ll have to visit to find out for yourself.

Last night I spent a a magical evening at Harewood House ✨exploring the NOW OPEN Austen & Turner exhibition. A fascinating exploration into the lives & legacy of these two important artists. It was an honour & delight to contribute in some small way. A very proud @cecs-york.bsky.social moment!
