I'll be speaking at the DAM and Museums online conference on 9 Feb. We'll be outlining the development of image management at the V&A from the 19th century to the current DAMS as part of the Museum’s strategy of improving public access to its collections.

Everything wrong with our politics, in one story:
Hedge fund manager buys large estate on Dartmoor.
Uses vast fortune to challenge the right to camp there. Wins.
Local people call on their MP to amend the legislation.
Discover he's been funded by the hedge fund manager.

I genuinely love tue randomness of coming across unexpected saints and their healing wells while hiking in the Kent countryside

Happy New Year! 2022 has been a year of ups and downs, but I got to spend part of it back in my happy place of Egypt. Can't wait to see what 2023 brings 😀

Cats are revered animals in Islam & considered the quintessential pet. Admired for their cleanliness, they're allowed to enter homes & mosques

To celebrate the last Caturday of the year, here are the much loved cats of Masjid Al-Aqsa, the third-holiest site in Islam

Vivienne Westwood died today, peacefully and surrounded by her family, in Clapham, South London.

The world needs people like Vivienne to make a change for the better.

Frankincense, woodsy & sweetly aromatic, is one of the oldest commodities spanning more than 6,000 years. It was once prized more than gold! Frankincense is an integral part of Oman’s culture & heritage, its trade flourishing for centuries.
