@Fran_Bottanelli ...and be a good student and a good mum and a good wife.
The guilt is terrible.
But we do it for them and this masters is the stuff of my dreams. Our happiness makes us better mums/wives etc.
I hope you feel better. You are an inspiration to me. You got this! 😊🥰

[Kate Fonseca @KateFon87]

@Fran_Bottanelli Oh I hear you and feel you. I am on mat leave and doing my Masters at the moment ( I return to work in March) and i had s say like that the other week. The work, the house, the kids....everything was on top on me and I thought I just cannot do this. I cannot do this....

St Louise de Marillac 1591-1660 & St Vincent de Paul 1581-1660, founders of Daughters of Charity in 1633 & who were battlefield nursing from the late 1600's. Both the Russians & British based their Crimean call for nurses on these atypical nuns. #histnursing #nursingsisters

So very excited that it is officially release day for The Queen and the Mistress: The Women of Edward III! I have waited so long to get this out there, and I really put my heart and soul into it. I sincerely hope you all enjoy reading about these two amazing women 💖👑

Went to a great talk yesterday about photos of Florence & was shown this incredible carte de visite from the 1860s - 500 Celebrated Personalities of the Age. Florence is to the left of the Royal Family group in the centre. As it says🔎needed. No idea who most of the others are🤔

Book delivery day! At 125 years old, it's my 2nd oldest book and smells divine. First-hand record of nursing on the Crimean #Battlefield from the last surviving nurse of the Irish Sisters of Mercy, aka Catherine Doyle #histnurs #crimeanurse #Crimea

@ilovenostalgia We called them "keep fit windows" 😂

[Kate Fonseca @KateFon87]

@DrLindseyFitz Wow! ��I'm doing a module in historical pharmacology and ethics and we are looking at old pharma ads. Could you tell me where you got this image from? It's fantastic and would be a great topic for one of my assignments! Thanks

@vicrathmill Will contact people I know in Edinburgh to keep a look out and in shop windows! Sometimes they put up a wee "ring found" sign. I'll do a wee prayer to St. Anthony too! 😊♥️ I really hope you get it back. X

[Victoria Rathmill🏺 @vicrathmill]

I lost my grandmas ring whilst in Edinburgh & I’m actually devastated.

I’m assuming I’m not going to get it back at this point but if anyone on Twitter has found a small gold ring with a tiny emerald surrounded by 8 small diamonds pls let me know 🙏
