    United Kingdom; The Film

    Over Christmas, I heard about a film called United Kingdom directed by Amma Asante; starring David Oyelowo and Rosamund Pike. A couple of weeks ago, I finally curled up on the couch to watch it! This is an inspiring movie based…

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.

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

Teacup Musings: a series where I muse and share a Teacup Musings: a series where I muse and share a picture of a teacup. And how lovely is this one! It's now spring and today it is supposed to get to the high twenties - already... I think the general warmth in the air is motivating though. Last week I tried to get as much written for chapter 4 of my thesis as I could. I did okay, but the draft still isn't finished. Maybe I was waiting for a warm day like today to get it done! 😆🤓🌞📚 #thesisupdate #historygirls #memoirsofateapot #historyblogger #writingaboutwriting #writing #historianinthemaking #historiansofinstagram #teacup #lovetea #musings #spring #studyhistory

Thesis Update! My 20 000 word thesis is due in No Thesis Update! My 20 000 word thesis is due in November, so the clock is ticking down a lot faster now 😬 I have drafted 2 of the 3 main chapters and have notes for the intro; that counts right?! Today I'm going see how much I can write of the 3rd main chapter and see what happens! 😆☕📚 #acupofteaisagoodstart P.S.
