You'll never make a living out of horses, writing and history, they said. So I don't try too hard. I just make sure that I enjoy the time I spend with any of these; which accounts for most of my time.

I gained my first degree in Archaeology and Geography at the University of Nottingham and went on to study Egyptology at the University of Manchester.

If you are a historian, doing the research is a great pleasure. I love searching for relevant books and sitting down with a stack of them next to me.

It's official - diamonds are a girl's best friend

It was time to do that (often considered, but never actually started) research into Margaret Cavendish, 17th century Duchess of Newcastle. Prolific writer, proto-feminist and arguer for animal rights, natural philosopher and contender with the members of the Royal Society: those were the facts about her that I had acquired through other reading, or browsed from the bottom leaves of the internet tr Read more of this blog post »
