Reading an article in the Whitechapel Society about crime writers & whether they have criminal minds but lack the courage to be criminals, with a particular focus on Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. What if ACD was Jack the Ripper? 🤯 #SherlockHolmes#JacktheRipper#ArthurConanDoyle
It's interesting, there's a lot of resources and advice out there for avoiding burnout or recognising the signs...but very little on what recovery is like. I'm still recovering 3yrs later.
I guess you’ll have heard the news, that 2025 is to be ITV’s last Tour de France. Surprised (no free-to-air for London 2027??). Slightly in shock. No Gary presenting the Tour. Hard to believe.
Murder! Mayhem! Marginalia! So excited to bring the world of ‘Bookish’ to the TV. Huge thanks to all at @UKTV and Eagle Eye. Attlee’s Britain never looked so good…
How to know that despite everything going on, you're working with the right people: having a long conversation about our favourite museums while fixing stuff #techservice#intherightplace
Germany: here's a Deutschland Ticket, you can use any train except for the ICE. Enjoy it.

Many career women who worked in Britain’s secret services shied away from having their photograph taken & destroyed personal papers shortly before their deaths.

These include several MI6 women - Olive Montgomery, Beatrice Peters, Muriel Jones & the youngest woman employed at the age of 14, Gladys Lincoln.
