My new article was published earlier this week!! It focuses on the gynaecological health of Mrs Glover, the subject of several letters in Elizabeth Gaskell's correspondence between 1853–54, and reveals Glover's original patient record that I found at the wonderful @bharchives.bsky.social. ✨
Verification of a Date in the Gaskell Letters: Mrs Glover’s Original Patient Case Notes
‘Poor Mrs Glover’, wrote Elizabeth Gaskell, ‘[…] the operation is to be today’.1 There are nine letters featuring Mrs Glover and her diagnosis and treatmen

The first sign of spring in the garden…
Lines written in early spring
By William Wordsworth
Through primrose tufts, in that green bower,
The periwinkle trailed its wreaths;
And ’tis my faith that every flower
Enjoys the air it breathes.

Hello gang, Smudge here. Just to let you know, I'm feeling a lot better. I've even started playing Tug-a-Squirrel again. But it's so cold tonight I'm wearing it as a scarf. Thanks to all my friends in the shops in Kings Road that supplied me with dog treats on Saturday. 🐾🐾🐾

So sad to hear of the death of Pauline Collins. A great inspiration to me as a young actor. Encouraging of my fledgling career and sponsoring me into the Actors Equity. She and husband John starred in Wodehouse Playhouse, an adaptation by my father, writer David Climie. They were exquisite in it. ❤️🙏
R.I.P. Pauline Collins. Seen here with John Alderton in Wodehouse Playhouse - Portrait of a Disciplinarian (7th May 1975)

When we entered the café, the man directed us to a table and told us to take a seat. I'm not sure what you're supposed to do with a seat. This one felt a bit more like a kennel and I didn't know where I was supposed to take it. Humans are strange. #BedlingtonTerrier

Smudge was doing a good impression of 'shiver my timbers' in the car today, so I lent him one of my snoods. #BedlingtonTerrier
