Fantastic celebration of @gawainsmum.bsky.social festschrift. Lovely to see so many colleagues and students current and past, which speaks to Helen's contribution as a scholar, colleague, and friend. @webstermedieval.bsky.social

Thank you Jools. I can always provide an alley and there's usually a mountain at the end of it. Sometimes dragons, sometimes not.

French impressionism meets Mondrian. I think it's glorious Richard. Good morning.

Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts. And I'm delighted you are enjoying it.
The heartache, as you rightly say, is never far away. But such is life, and the 'mad mangled crocodile of love'. Worth it though - to be alive.

‘The message is clear: 20th-century colonialism created the conditions for a 21st-century tragedy.’

@josephinequinn.bsky.social on an exhibition of Gazan antiquities: www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...

This show has excited controversy: should we even be talking about damage to antiquities in the context of so much...

A colour photograph of a singular small wooden table on a wooden outlook. The sea is in the background and you can just about see 2 people swimming to the right of the table. It was a stormy and rainy day in Thailand.
