In a favourite place. Alas, in Kolding this time for the sad occasion of father in law’s funeral. Proud to have carried his coffin. Sov godt Jørgen.

Koldinghus. Castle in front of Slotssøen or Castle Lake with reflection onto lake surface.

Really pleased that our Shakespeare Recovered was highly commended at the Museums & Heritage Awards. A great achievement made possible by the outstanding work of colleagues.

Knowledge on top of the hill at Uppsala University. The Carolina Rediviva has a physical and symbolic location between the castle and cathedral. A beautiful library with fascinating collections.

Was uncertain about posting this photo. Actually took very few but still felt compelled to visit out of profound respect. Everything shrouded in fog seemed somehow fitting. The worst images were captured forever in my mind. @auschwitzmemorial.bsky.social

Obwarzanek krakowski. Living on these whilst in Kraków. Traditional & apparently only available in the Old Town. Bought fresh from street sellers. Just don’t call them a bagel.

Excellent, thoughtful & extremely well curated Women in Revolt exhibition at Tate Britain. Great to see the work of archivists credited.
