So much to love about London Tide. The staging and particularly the lighting design were brilliant. What they chose to include/exclude worked well. That said if you don’t like PJ Harvey you might struggle with it!

Said hello to the Gloucester Candlestick yesterday. Somehow it’s about 11 years since I was thinking about it during my MA. I loved the freedom to think that course afforded me. Happy times
Close up of part of the base of the 12th century Gloucester Candlestick. Its intricate, gilded metalwork human figures and beasts are intertwined. Find it in the V&A

Beautiful day for one of the highlights of the academic year! It’s graduation today and tomorrow and I am delighted to be celebrating with our wonderful GCU London students. This is what all the hard work is for!

This was exactly the break I needed last night. So silly and fun and now I feel recharged and ready to help students write their research projects today.

Found my #19thC spooky story for Halloween. ‘The Phantom Death’ - a shipboard poisoning mystery by W Clark Russell from 1893, illustrated by Seppings West
Black and white illustration titled ‘Oh my God! he exclaimed’. A seated man looks at a standing, wide-eyed man who grips his head with his hands.

The #19thC botanical stereographs at the photography centre at the V&A are absolutely worth seeking out.
A silvery grey stereoscope with a label instructing ‘look into the stereoscope below to see the stereographs. Unknown photographer. Botanical specimens. About 1880.’

Spotted new signage up outside our new building this morning. We’ve been excited to move to our new learning development centre and library for a while so this is a great start to the week
