Good to be back at @imc-leeds.bsky.social this past week, holding swords, talking manuscript networks, and participating in yesterday’s Digital Medieval Studies Institute ⚔️ Met so many fun and interesting folks— and almost forgot my MedRen fomo 🫣

A beautiful day in Cambridge for the @ihr.bsky.social New Directions in the History of Liturgy study day. Turns out a 5 minute flash paper was plenty of time to kick off some good pontifical chat!

Jaunt up to Manchester for an acronym-laden training (UKRI AHRC AI & EDI) but also using it as an excuse for some cathedral hopping

Have had such a wonderful time in Helsinki presenting my research at the “Books, Music, and the Liturgical Life of the Medieval Church” Colloquium, hosted by the University of Helsinki and National Library of Finland. Thank you to @swwdtp.bsky.social for making this trip possible.

In my post conference feels on the train home, but had such a fab time at my first MedRen! I met so many amazing people and feel incredibly lucky to be part of such a stimulating community. Def heading home with a huge to-do list! Huge thanks to this year’s organisers! @medren2025.bsky.social

Every early music conference should come with dragon processions @medren2025.bsky.social

In theory I’m at MedRen for music/research purposes but I’m actually here for the dragons 🐉 @medren2025.bsky.social

Current mood after a busy day in the UL sorting through some notation— combined with yesterday’s session at the BL, I’ve now added 146 new chants to my Big Pontifical Spreadsheet in the last two days 😵‍💫

A beautiful (if a bit chilly) day of chant at Brockley church! Had so much fun singing with everyone and teaching some medieval notations ☀️
