1/3. Seeking green sanctuary from #Edinburghfest crowds? This @guardian article recommends the lovely c17th Dunbar's Close off the Royal Mile. But for more secret gardens...🌿 theguardian.com/travel/2025/ju…

@DrKateAsh It was good, thanks! I had lots of lovely feedback on my paper and got to see loads of really interesting panels too Hope you’ve been having a great summer! 😊

@_GemK_ how was BAVS? Really hope the paper went well.

The week I was accepted to Edinburgh vs graduation day ! Very grateful to have spent four years learning about medieval leprosy, the many mad women of Scottish literature, and the value of a drastic haircut 📖💫🌈

Unsure if I enjoy living in the Scottish countryside despite or because of the fact that my route home is routinely blocked by a herd of cows

@iammarlonaustin And to think I was banned from taking gcse art

@_GemK_ these are AMAZING

Was great to go to the launch of the @_SELCIE_ Nurture through Nature exhibition today! Teeny Gem would be pretty chuffed to see her fairy-hunting endeavours displayed in a museum 📚🧚‍♀️

@naiwallace @SarahDunnigan1 @DrKateAsh Michard Raitland would be so proud

Dissertation complete! Lots of words about Scottish ladies and their words in the sixteenth century. Very grateful for all of the kind support and advice, particularly from @SarahDunnigan1 and @DrKateAsh 🌷📜

@naiwallace Bit rich coming from Little Miss “Scothic Literature”

Reading each other’s dissertations out loud to find the typos and @_GemK_ has just said the poem is ‘ascribed to Michard Raitland’

Ringing in 22 with Scottish lit and my favourite kind of hermeneutics ✨💐

Celebrating the angel that is @_GemK_ 🩵

@naiwallace It’s a trick I’m certain of it

Could it be finally spring… 🌷

Should be focusing on essays but am instead thinking about this sixteenth-century Dr Seuss character I saw the other day

@naiwallace Can’t believe you’d agree to raise a convent monkey but not my orphaned troll triplets

Went to Medieval Women at the British Library today and my biggest takeaway is that clearly I missed my calling as a cloistered pet parent

No weather warning is severe enough to get in the way of Scottish Lit Christmas 🕯️📚 @naiwallace
