I’ve always been fascinated with the past. When I was 8 I became absolutely obsessed with ancient Egypt and was convinced that I would be a famous adventuring Egyptologist (Indiana Jones has a lot to answer for). As a teenager I worked in a medieval castle before going to university to study history. I ended up focusing on gender and sexuality in the 14th century and loved my studies, even if I kind of hated university at points. I’ve gone on to work in the technology industry, which is about as far from medieval history as you can get, but I still love exploring historic sites and pretending that one day I’ll become a famous archaeologist.

You don’t have to work in what you love to be happy. But you don’t have to leave it behind either.

Sunday afternoons were made for exploring and cups of tea.
This is a fact.
In all honesty though, I’m going into next week feeling a bit overwhelmed and very behind (I’m doing three talks this month, which is great don’t get me wrong, but there’s a lot of prep that needs to be done). Still it’s important to get away from work, even if it’s just for a few hours to wander about a 16th century manor in the rain 💚
