I've been really lucky to work with dream clients like National Museums Scotland, the Bronte Parsonage Museum and Sotheby's Institute of Art in the last 3 years, on some (very) exciting digital projects and workshops.

Anyone got a suggestion for a lovely museum to visit when I’m back home in Bracknell this weekend? (not Reading Museum + MERL, which are both gorgeous but I’m in the mood for a day trip to somewhere new and I have a CAR) My dog looking like a croissant as thanks in advance

Ok @McrMuseum is literally delicious? And there are chameleons? That are alive not just in display cases? No notes

Such a lovely lovely welcome from the team @HarewoodHouse for my first week! Even the pups. What a looker. Exciting.

We’ve found the Book of Hours captured by Holbein in his famous portrait of #ThomasCromwell! Cromwell’s book is one of the few objects depicted in a Tudor portrait to survive. @TracyBorman has dubbed it “the most exciting Cromwell discovery in a generation - if not more.”

Extremely niche interest but there’s something about seeing something painted centuries ago, then now in real life, that causes me to explode

After the chaos of the last week - which has been gorgeous but a LOT - I have somehow made it to Seville 🍊 Recommendations gratefully received! I currently have food and beer on my list and nothing else (which is also fine)

Absolutely obsessed with this wonderful group of people, who organised my 10/10 leaving do last night. Lucky little Meg with the best little friends.

This was when things got a little teary and they wiped my literal face and dolled me back up again. Just yes.

2 years ago today I was chuffed to join the board of @OldHouseMuseum, & celebrated with like 5 bakewell tarts and then felt very sick. I regret nothing! A few of our board members are stepping down this year, so we’re looking for others to join our very lovely board 🍰

It's such a brilliant small museum, and I've learnt so much from the people there in a short amount of time. I really recommend it to anyone looking for their first trustee role especially, as the support I've had in the last 2 years has been wonderful. It's very rewarding!
