'Tis the season.

Looking forward to reading this, Elizabeth Maitland, Duchess of Lauderdale - queen of my doctoral thesis - clearly identified with her and had a very striking, large image of her inset within her Private Closet at @nationaltrust.org.uk Ham House.

River Island is selling a DOUBLET. They've ploughed straight through the slightly MCR-emo-nostalgia military jacket to the Shakespeare swag this season.

Rewatching 'The Witch: A New England Folktale' on an Autumnal Sunday. It is so good, and I'll fight anyone who says, 'well they all just ergot from the corn'.

Oh God, gotta stop referring to myself as a mutt as I’ll sound like a Mogg-ist.

I'll be speaking about Elizabeth Maitland, (falsely) rumoured mistress of many, poisoner, and a guilty wraith at the heart of a Victorian ghost story, who in life was a politically astute collector of global and colonial objects.

I'm so glad to be vindicated; I'm a certified Sheeran hater. His rags-to-riches mythology has always wound me up.

I got followed in the Rijksmuseum last year, my boyfriend had to explain I'm just a big fat seventeenth-century nerd and not casing the joint.

Looking forward to reading this later! I think the Tollemache women (and their matriarch-and-a-half mum) deserve a new book!

You best be young and have a Downtown accent on there my lad.

This was my gym fodder last year. Some mad titbits in this, like the playing of Jolene on Robben Island, and a dive into her early subversion of traditional murder/fallen woman ballads.

I’ve had this pop up on various feeds and have been watching. I would love a massive Irish wolfhound but I hope the therapy dog she’s suing over isn’t one?! They’d take up a whole cafe. They‘re the size of a table?!
