I had the absolute honour of chatting with the incomparable @wmarybeard at @WaterstonesRose about what makes the emperor of Rome! An absolutely enthralling and fascinating evening…even Augustus is telling you to grab a copy!

Save Anthropology at the University of Kent - Sign the Petition! chng.it/7crpjmk8 via @Change
Please sign to save these courses at UKC. Having these options at a local university was so exciting for me as a student, and they remain important for thousands of other applicants. chng.it/MYGMXdtYWD – at South East, England
Many students in the South East apply to UKC due to its wide range of subjects, attainable entry requirements, and affordable proximity. We MUST retain these courses for the education of our future workforce - many of whom come from state education, and low income areas. – at South East, England

Hey everyone , yesterday just before the top of the hour I was joking around a bit with the team in the gallery.
I was pretending to count down as the director was counting me down from 10-0.. including the fingers to show the number. So from 10 fingers held up to one.
When we got to 1 I turned finger around as a joke and did not realise that this would be caught on camera.
It was a private joke with the team and I’m so sorry it went out on air! It was not my intention for this to happen and I’m sorry if I offended or upset anyone. I wasn’t ‘ flipping the bird’ at viewers or even a person really.
It was a silly joke that was meant for a small number of my mates. 🤦🏻♀️

What an amazing graduation day in Canterbury! Eternally grateful for my 5 years of study, in which I have been pushed to achieve more than I could ever imagine. Thank you to all the inspiring people I have met along the way 🧡

I’ve just returned from Lazio visiting my fiancé’s hometown, and was lucky enough to spend some time at the Etruscan sites in Vulci and Tarquinia. Wow. – at Westham, England

I have recently submitted my MA dissertation, which means my five years of university are finally over. My journey continues, as I have just secured my first teaching job at a local 6th form college 😄 – at Westham, England

I am currently recording a diverse hoard of coins, ranging from a denarius of Antonius Pius to a penny from 1920. They were all found in the same context - how can this be?! – at Sittingbourne, England
