A fab day spent with @knights_skye learning about the important work of the WLA and WTC in Suffolk.🚜 It was an honour to be invited to write the foreword for the souvenir programme.✒️ And of course, we came away with these beautifully crocheted Land Girls, Millie & Lily.🧶
Back home from a wonderful day visiting Saxham Hall to celebrate the work of The Suffolk Women's Land Army Memorial Trust. A fantastic time spent listening to inspiring, poignant stories about what it was like to be a Land Girl & Lumber Jill in Suffolk.

I was *very* excited to contribute to a new episode of the @UkNatArchives podcast all about the history of the @WomensLandArmy.🚜 TNA have an incredible collection of archive material on the WLA in WW1 & WW2, which the team so evocatively bring to life.⬇️ #history #podcast
The latest episode of On The Record is now available! In this episode, we're digging into the history of the Women's Land Army. Discover more about the women who rolled up their sleeves and kept farms running during the Second World War. Listen here: https://t.co/g57Y3YOa8g

These letters patent of Elizabeth I were issued #otd 1559. They reinstate the February fair but not the August fair, granted by Henry VIII, after both had been repealed by an Act of Parliament @NorfolkRO

So proud of my sister Cherish to have a 2 page spread in @WDYTYA_UK discussing the new digitised Women’s Land Army index cards. She has been my biggest inspiration and supporter as I transition into the heritage world. #InternationalWomensDay #wla #WomensDay #inspire #magazine

Today @spark_curious is at @stedscath recruiting spies to keep Queen Elizabeth I safe. We are also creating Tudor pomanders and getting the chance to use a Tudor watering can. #herbalmedicine #VR #Tudors #HalfTerm #heritage #history

Since the early days of my PhD, @stefdickers has continually offered invaluable guidance & support for my research. 📚 It was such a pleasure to talk about the dazzling array of scrapbooks deposited at @BishopsgateInst & why more people should give their scrapbooks to archives.
🎧 Listen to the latest episode of The Scrapbook History podcast where I talk to the wonderful @stefdickers about the scrapbooks he and his team collect and look after at @BishopsgateInst.🎧 https://t.co/J1QCvn14dw

#OnThisDay in 1558 Elizabeth I came to the throne. Yesterday we were delighted to welcome fantastic pupils from The Damara School to learn about her visit to Thetford in 1578 and create some windows with @spark_curious as part of #POP1578.

Can't believe it was a year ago when I completed my Land Army mini series - Ploughing the Fields With Poetry. Such a great way to remember the work of the Women's Land Army. https://t.co/1K2G3uFQES
