The planes are awesome at the IWM Duxford but I’m loving “ole Bill” a bus that served on the Western Front in WWI & then was retired & returned to civilian service. I also has the honor of being the 1st bus King George V ever set foot on.

Today in TB & fashion history collide I got to see the gown Elenora di Toledo (wife of Cosimo de Medici) was buried in after her death from consumption in 1562. Her gown had to be overlapped to account for her shrunken frame. It was amazing to see this 16th century survivor! #fashionhistory #histmed

Dearest dead person, I realize you weren’t thinking of me centuries ago & I know what it says, but would it kill you to lift your pen between words?!!!! Sincerely, Historian who’s eyes hurt

As prepared as I can be, but as a person who grew up in Louisiana, I am dreading a storm that’s bringing over an inch of ice coupled with gusty winds & temperatures dropping to 9 F (-12C). We are likely to have widespread power outages & no heat! Hope everyone in the path of this storm stays safe.
