So literally the day I printed/bound/turned in my dissertation, I also shipped a couple boxes home, took a bunch of stuff to Oxfam (like an English Goodwill), cleaned out my kitchen stuff and dorm room, and packed up all the rest of my stuff except bedding. I slept one more night there, and then the …

Dissertation
End of August / Early September 2016 Sooooo I didn’t get up to much exploring these last few weeks before the dissertation. (Obviously). These are just a bit of random photos from when I did get out of the library/my room/the Archaeology building. AND MY FINISHED DISSERTATION (which I got a Distinction on thank you …
The Lost Palace
25 August 2016 Now this…this was a cool experience. Two lovely friends and I (hi @blimeyo-reilly and @woolly-hat!) a new kind of ‘visitor experience’ designed by the Historic Royal Palaces. It was called ‘The Lost Palace’, and essentially it was a audio/imaginary/real tour of Whitehall Palace - which no longer exists. The only remaining building from this …
Brighton 3: What’s New Scooby-Doo
12 August 2016 (3 of 3 Brighton-related photo sets) (text repeated) I’ve never quite been anywhere like Brighton. The city had beautiful architecture but was definitely not squeaky clean. I can tell it is a major tourist site for people seeking the seaside but also drinking and other fun.There are huge nice resort hotels and …
Brighton 2: Pier
12 August 2016 (2 of 3 Brighton-related photo sets) I’ve never quite been anywhere like Brighton. The city had beautiful architecture but was definitely not squeaky clean. I can tell it is a major tourist site for people seeking the seaside but also drinking and other fun.There are huge nice resort hotels and older B&B’s …
I’m Running Away To Brighton To Find A Young Man
12 August 2016 (1 of 3 Brighton-related photo sets) Sooooo I remember I got about four hours of sleep and I was feeling really awake and antsy on this particular day. When I actually got up and looked outside, the weather was absolutely GORGEOUS even at like 7 am. I had been working a lot …

Victoria And Albert Museum of Childhood
11 August 2016 TWO museums in ONE day! The V&A Museum of Childhood is a museum of objects made for and made by children. There is a lot (a LOT) of toys throughout the museum from many time periods and some places. I saw a lot of toys I definitely played with, either at my …
What Is Better Than A Pimm’s On A Warm Summer Night
Mid-August 2016 More random shots! I was working on my dissertation at this point, interviewing and writing and researching and coding thematic data and all of that nonsense. But I still found time to get around a little - two days a week interning at the pathology museum, summer night’s at the pub with a …

Royal London Hospital Museum
11 August 2016 Went to the Royal London Hospital museum! It is located in the former crypt of St. Philip’s Church in Whitechapel, which is a cool thing all on it’s own. But the museum itself is a small gem for anyone interested in medical history, history of the East End and Whitechapel, Joseph Merrick …
