I'm determined by the end of 2025 I'll have finished researching & writing my biography of #MarySomerville but to do so I need financial help. I appreciate this is a hard time for everyone but if you could donate, or share, I would be v grateful 🙏 gofundme.com/f/research-and…
A photo of me ‘in action’ sent to me by one of the lovely people on my tour this afternoon. Am so lucky to be able to do what I do ❤️
Arrived a bit early for my 2pm New Town tour so giving Paddington some info about the city he is sitting in 😁❤️
Had such a fab time this morning, taking these 2 amazing people on my ‘From Castle to Palace’, talking women’s history for 3 hrs. Really was in my happy place!
Was a lovely surprise to receive this by email last night! Huge thanks to all those who have left reviews of my #womenshistory #walkingtours !!

As someone actually trained in behavioural psychology—unlike most MPs—I can tell you: financial precarity doesn’t “incentivise” sick people to work. It breaks them. Stress worsens health. Fear doesn’t create productivity. It creates collapse. #TakingThePIP
DWP boss just said Universal Credit gives disabled people 'perverse incentives' not to work Liz Kendall's shocking comments came just as a new report slams the DWP for failing vulnerable claimants. So which is it??? #TakingThePIP thecanary.co/uk/analysis/20…
This is the face of someone who is hot and sweaty but very grateful that the big umbrella was only needed to get to the start of where she was meeting people, and after she had left them and not actually during the 2 hour private women’s history walking tour she did today!
Slept way too much last night (didn’t set an alarm) & most of the dreams were horrible ones where family/friends just telling me how useless I am, how I haven’t achieved anything, have let them down/am not a good friend etc. Know it’s not true but why brain, why do that to me?!

Do you always finish a book if you start reading it? Even if you aren’t really enjoying/liking it?
I had such a brilliant time at the first day of the @atlantlitwomen symposium on Friday!! Clash of diaries meant I couldn’t stay for the second but it was well worth travelling to Derby for! Seeing @drlaurarattray again was def the highlight 🥰
Fun first day at the @atlantlitwomen symposium 🥰
