After a cancelled train and a wobbly start, I am finally on my way to the #Museums2024 conference! Thanks to @MuseumsAssoc Members Support Fund for funding my place and enabling me to go, it's a great opportunity for me. And in my dad's old stomping ground #Leeds as well 👌😀

@ciderwithrosie Yay congrats 👏 Definitely celebrate all the things! I have ordered my copy so looking forward to it x

@suzycatpope Oh I don't think that was even there when I was there, was it?! 😄 I do miss Portobello though

[Laura Gavin @lauradgavin]

@humbysarah Hahaha! Brilliant. And thank you, you too!

Anyone else pass items of delicious-smelling food under their nose as though it's a cigar?! Just caught myself doing it with a tea cake

@ciderwithrosie Hahaha yes! I can do it as lunch but it has to be seriously chunky (so basically a stew) and have more solid things to dip in it

[Laura Gavin @lauradgavin]

@PaulTrainerPT Ahh congrats Paul!

[Laura Gavin @lauradgavin]

@KiaNFFC Ah I hope it improves! And yes for sure 😀

My name continues to confound everybody... I explained to someone on the phone that I moved my maiden name into my middle names and my surname is James. A short pause, then he asked 'so just to check, your name was at one time Laura Gavin Gavin?' It must be the way I explain it😂

[Laura Gavin @lauradgavin]

@ciderwithrosie Yes! Always in a file called 'spare bits' 😆

44% of white working-class students and 37% of black students enter uni with only BTEC qualifications. Cutting these will have a huge impact on social mobility and our economy. Email your MP now and ask them to attend the #ProtectStudentChoice parliamentary debate 18.07.22 4:30pm
