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.

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
