Little princess has come to be my research assistant today. She tells me she enjoys hearing about eighteenth century women, but trying to get her head around enlightenment philosophy not so much. I’m right there with you miss Cleo... 🐕‍🦺

“Oh, it’s so delightful to have ambitions. I’m glad I have such a lot. And there never seems to be any end to them – that’s the best of it. Just as soon as you attain to one ambition you see another one glittering higher up still. It does make life so interesting.” - Anne of Green Gables, Chapter 34
A postcard from Paris - behind the beautiful clock at @museeorsay, one of my favourite museums of all time ⏰
I’m in love with @janeaustenwashere - I tell myself I needed this for research but really I just needed this gorgeous and beautifully illustrated book in my life 🌷
Extra bonus photos of @englishheritage Kenilworth just because the gardens were blooming and the sun shining when we last visited together! (Plus sneak appearance from @gillyr8 as it is one of my favourite photos of her!) 🏰🌸
