A fab day spent with @knights_skye learning about the important work of the WLA and WTC in Suffolk.🚜

It was an honour to be invited to write the foreword for the souvenir programme.✒️

And of course, we came away with these beautifully crocheted Land Girls, Millie & Lily.🧶

Had a wonderful day at The Suffolk Women's Land Army Memorial Trust Fundraising Event at Saxham Hall yesterday. It was fantastic to meet so many passionate people who are keeping the memory of the Suffolk Land Girls alive. #wla #ww2 #suffolk #suffolkheritage #fundraising

And with that I have completed my first year of my History Degree at The Open University.

Had a blast being Land Girl at Retro Revival yesterday and was so much fun creating an activity all about WLA arm bands.

I was *very* excited to contribute to a new episode of the @UkNatArchives podcast all about the history of the @WomensLandArmy.🚜

TNA have an incredible collection of archive material on the WLA in WW1 & WW2, which the team so evocatively bring to life.⬇️

These letters patent of Elizabeth I were issued #otd 1559. They reinstate the February fair but not the August fair, granted by Henry VIII, after both had been repealed by an Act of Parliament @NorfolkRO

Such a wonderful day returning to @LucyCavColl & Senate House.

So proud of my sister Cherish to have a 2 page spread in @WDYTYA_UK discussing the new digitised Women’s Land Army index cards. She has been my biggest inspiration and supporter as I transition into the heritage world. #InternationalWomensDay #wla #WomensDay #inspire #magazine

Today @spark_curious is at @stedscath recruiting spies to keep Queen Elizabeth I safe. We are also creating Tudor pomanders and getting the chance to use a Tudor watering can. #herbalmedicine #VR #Tudors #HalfTerm #heritage #history

[Skye Knights @knights_skye]

All set up and ready for a fun day at Thetford library. I also believe Queen Elizabeth I is visiting @AncientHouseMus with Sam the soldier. A very exciting day ahead. #heritage #library #tudor #pop1578 #elizabethian

[Common Ground @NNFCommonGround]

This time last week was the #CommonGroundSymposium!✨
We want to say thank you to everyone who attended, facilitated, spoke, helped out, & @HeritageFundUK - it was a day full of learning, sharing and creativity which wouldn’t have been possible without you all. 📸@NNFest

Since the early days of my PhD, @stefdickers has continually offered invaluable guidance & support for my research. 📚

It was such a pleasure to talk about the dazzling array of scrapbooks deposited at @BishopsgateInst & why more people should give their scrapbooks to archives.
