Dr Vicky Holmes FRHistS

@DrRebeccaBall Congrats! I can't wait to read it!

Very excited to announce that my first book has now been published!! It deleves into the lives of one hundred working-class individuals to explore their experiences of the years 1900 to 1945 in England!

@KathrinaPerry @kerrymlove not at the moment -- the lodger book is currently in production with MUP :)

@kerrymlove @Vicky_Holmes weren't you working on a trade book?? (You might have even finished it - it's been a while since we've had a catch up)

@menysnoweballes @agnesjuliet I went down the private route with a physio as well to assist with the recovery of my c-section and diastasis recti. I was meant to be offered it on the NHS, but going private meant I started physio just three weeks after birth.

My midwives promised that my pelvic girdle pain would go away after I gave birth. Fourteen months later, it's somehow worse?

@AggieCrank @socialhistsoc I think every conference I want to go to this year clashes with teaching. Yes, definitely catch up soon x

@AggieCrank @socialhistsoc Have a great time! I'm teaching summer school this year, so I can't be there.

@JoeHarley1988 Just logged into Twitter to like this :)

Out today! 😍

@_drsang I've just got back from the Lake District - there at least once a year. Top food tip is Greens in Grasmere. The Honister Slate Mine is also worth a visit and you can climb Fleetwith Pike from the same carpark. And, don't forget to pick up fell badges from Conquer :)

@JBHist @LCFLondon Amazing news, Congratulations!

I'm very proud and pleased to say that from 1 August, I'll be Associate Dean for Research @LCFLondon. I'm so excited about this new chapter in my career. This is a wonderful opportunity to engage with and support some amazing research at the coolest institution I can think of.

News of a new PhD opportunity at ARU - come work with me and @GressenhallFW on a fantastic collection of some c. 1,000 workhouse objects! aru.ac.uk/news/research-…

@SarahRoseCrook My son was due at the end of September and arrived at the end of August. He was definitely ready for school when he started and ran in on the first day without even saying goodbye. Another year in nursery would have been too long.

Parents of other late August children, or grown ups with late August birthdays, please reassure me/share experiences of starting school very young

@luciejones83 I'm writing mine at the moment - the first paragraph explains why it took me so long to write a book on lodgers.

@lottelydia My commute is so much quieter now that I can take the Elizabeth Line. I ventured onto central/jubilee/circle lines in the past few weeks and couldn't quite believe the contrast.
