Could I have done it in a few months? Sure. Should I have pulled my finger out and made time? Yup. Was I the world’s biggest scaredy cat? Probably. But it’s live.06 Aug 2025 14:44 +0000at://did:plc:uhaunpteb2m3ritaztpy52hl/app.bsky.feed.post/3lvqhky6sns2yhttps://bsky.app/profile/northerneditorial.bsky.social/post/3lp4n3iqa2c2jFinal essay to write for this year and still the muse evades me. Still, there’s tea and biscuits, and these to look at in the garden when I’m procrastinating 😆14 May 2025 08:59 +0000at://did:plc:uhaunpteb2m3ritaztpy52hl/app.bsky.feed.post/3lp4n3iqa2c2jhttps://bsky.app/profile/northerneditorial.bsky.social/post/3lnicnhqhuc2xLast year I was delighted to be able to help transcribe Frank Austen's memoir (Jane's brother). There were 2000 of us! We only got a page each, but, hey, it was a dream transcription (naming Nelson and Gibraltar). I'm glad to have been able to help bring a little bit more of Jane's family to life https://janeaustens.house/news/frank-austen-transcript-complete/?dm_i=5P1K,16K6T,6O0FI6,5IYSD,123 Apr 2025 13:33 +0000at://did:plc:uhaunpteb2m3ritaztpy52hl/app.bsky.feed.post/3lnicnhqhuc2xhttps://bsky.app/profile/northerneditorial.bsky.social/post/3lkej3h23u226Well.

Watch Restoration until I feel more human. Well, it’s a bit of light ‘spot the inaccuracies’ relief 😆 https://media.tenor.com/_qxikpfuhIQAAAAC/robert-downey-jr-bored.gif?hh=498&ww=49812 Feb 2025 09:33 +0000at://did:plc:uhaunpteb2m3ritaztpy52hl/app.bsky.feed.post/3lhxul36bvs24https://bsky.app/profile/northerneditorial.bsky.social/post/3lepcnn3pqs2bSo, my daughter did a thing. She’s writing a history blog (something she’s been meaning to do for ages, since she got her history degree, but has now decided to do … new year and all that). If you like history please go and give her a follow on substack, it would mean a lot to her (and me) ❤️ https://open.substack.com/pub/historyandotherthings/p/i-am-a-time-traveller-sort-of?r=51xnri&utm_medium=ios01 Jan 2025 19:35 +0000at://did:plc:uhaunpteb2m3ritaztpy52hl/app.bsky.feed.post/3lepcnn3pqs2bhttps://bsky.app/profile/northerneditorial.bsky.social/post/3lehwnwidds2dSo, how’s your festive time going?

(Scotland -5C ➡️ Florence 16C ➡️ Paris 6C ➡️ Scotland 3Cish) And all I can think abt is Tuscan bread, how burrata and mortadella are cheap af, and how the wine is good but cheap. Back to work tomorrow but I have a feeling I will bake bread soon08 Dec 2024 20:25 +0000at://did:plc:uhaunpteb2m3ritaztpy52hl/app.bsky.feed.post/3lct2audvps22https://bsky.app/profile/northerneditorial.bsky.social/post/3lcnlbk4qqk2lAaaah back home with a weekend to get back to normal. Florence was glorious (we didn’t want to leave and are missing it soooo much!). We had a day’s stopover at Disney on the way home. (Well we still had 2 flights to get home so why not do Disney at Christmas?) Fun of a different kind ❤️06 Dec 2024 16:14 +0000at://did:plc:uhaunpteb2m3ritaztpy52hl/app.bsky.feed.post/3lcnlbk4qqk2lhttps://bsky.app/profile/northerneditorial.bsky.social/post/3lc3xzvtuz22eSo.

Reading a bit about 1800s cartomania while drinking rose tea out of a teacup that’s a work of art. Then I might get out one of my photo albums and do a bit of research. May as well use one of my obsessions to fuel my studies22 Nov 2024 15:56 +0000at://did:plc:uhaunpteb2m3ritaztpy52hl/app.bsky.feed.post/3lbkdq6e22c2zhttps://bsky.app/profile/northerneditorial.bsky.social/post/3lbjmmzhijk2c@thebatqueen.bsky.social found you! ❤️22 Nov 2024 09:02 +0000at://did:plc:uhaunpteb2m3ritaztpy52hl/app.bsky.feed.post/3lbjmmzhijk2chttps://bsky.app/profile/northerneditorial.bsky.social/post/3lbimlh3gx22b@cfrancisauthor.bsky.social aaay found you.

But having to travel 120 miles (and the same back) for a hair appt has its drawbacks. We’ve had to cancel after bad weather … being woken up at 2am with mega hail hitting the roof hasn’t helped.
