My masters thesis is due in a few weeks! So I feel My masters thesis is due in a few weeks! So I feel like I'm constantly editing.... This is the old post office building in Old Berrima, a little historic town in the southern highlands. I'm looking forward to exploring more historic houses and museums once this thesis is submitted! #thesiswriting #thesislife #historian #berrima #oldpostoffice #whitepicketfence #tinroof #oldhouses #lovethepast #historytravels #historylove #historythesis #museumlover #memoirsofateapot #memoirsofahistoryblogger #historyblog #historichouse
This is the door to the tack room in the Stables a This is the door to the tack room in the Stables at Rouse Hill Estate. I love the wear and tear it shows; its evidence of all the times that people have opened it and stepped through. If it could speak it would have countless stories about people of the past. #historygirls #passageoftime #historybloggersaustralia #memoirsofateapot #lovethepast #pastlives #objectstellstories #olddoor #oldstables #historichouse #historichousemuseum #housemuseum #oldestate #memoirsofateapot #rousehillestate
Government House, Sydney, peeking through the tree Government House, Sydney, peeking through the trees. The first Governor of the new colony of New South Wales was Arthur Philip (who also captained the First Fleet). He lived in the first government house which was destroyed in 1845. This replacement residence is still used today as the official residence of the NSW Governor. In normal times you can visit via a guided tour. I went a couple of years ago and really enjoyed it. #historichouse #heritagesydney #bluesky #historiansofinstagram #historygirls #historiansontheloose #memoirsofateapot #governmenthouse #throwbackthursday #1800s #1800shouse #learnaboutthepast #historyfacts #australianhistory #australianhistorybloggers #historybloggersaustralia #aussiebloggers #history
Every now and again I like to share a movie based Every now and again I like to share a movie based on a historical story that I really enjoy. Miss Potter is one of these. Beatrix Potter's personality and aspirations did not always fit in well with the expectations of her family or the society that she grew up in. And yet she wrote and illustrated the famous children's book Peter Rabbit and many others. This movie explores her resilience and her growing confidence in her artistic abilites. #history #historymoviemonday #moviemonday #moviereccomendation #historyblogger #memoirsofateapot #historygirls #beatrixpotter #misspotter #peterrabbit #inspirationalwomen #inspirationalhistory
Another puzzle completed! This is one of my favour Another puzzle completed! This is one of my favourites and it's probably the fourth or fifth time that I've put it together. I love the twighlight colours and the delicate architecture of the house with the lights shining from within. #puzzles #gothicrevival #thomaskinkade #historyblogger #memoirsofateapot #gothicstylehouse #housearchitecture
A photo memory from my visit to Camden Park House A photo memory from my visit to Camden Park House last year. It was a glorious spring day to stroll through the gardens and explore the house. A very good day trip! 🌼🌷🐝🌿🌳 You can find out infor about the House's history on the blog. I'll pop a link in my profile. #historygirls #historiansontheloose #memoirsofateapot #australianhistory #historichouse #camdenheritage #camdenparkopenday #australiancolonialhistory #historyblog #purplewisteria #oldhouse
Around about this time in September the St Ives Me Around about this time in September the St Ives Medieval Faire is normally held. When I went a few years ago it was the first time I saw a jousting tournament. Super exciting! I was keen to go again this year but next year it is. It's probably one of the best medieval fairs that I've been to. P.S. You can find out more about the St Ives Medieval Faire on the blog.

It's starting to warm up here in Sydney and I'm ve It's starting to warm up here in Sydney and I'm very happy about it! Spring is a very motivating season for thesis writing. 🌺 This photo of pink magnolias in all their glory was taken on a visit to Dunedin's Larnach castle a couple of years ago. The gardens there are absolutely lovely and I highly recommend spending time wandering through them as well as the castle. #magnolias #larnachcastle #history #historygirls #womenshistorycircle #historybloggersaustralia #aussiebloggers #historyblog #historichouse #historichousemuseum #museumvisit #museumgram #historiansontheloose #newzealandhistory #visitnewzealand #springtime #writingmotivation #springflowers #thesiswriting #historiansofinstagram
