The Charles Dickens Museum has gone all out for Christmas! Stop by if you can. They’ve got some special events coming up for the festive time.

Two Natural History Museum photos in a row... but I can’t help myself because it’s a fantastic place. It’s quickly becoming one of my favourite spots in the city.

Tsar Nicholas II and Tsarina Alexandra had four girls — Olga, Tatiana, Maria and Anastasia. This put enormous pressure on the Tsarina to produce an heir to the throne, so much so that she had a phantom pregnancy due to the anxiety. Tsarevich Alexei was born to the family on 12 August 1904. A month after his birth, they found out that he had haemophilia. In an effort to hide this from the world, the Romanov family withdrew from the public, moving from the capital to Alexander Palace. This increasing distance from the general public would be one of the contributing factors to their downfall.

I spent this afternoon at the Science Museum’s exhibition on the Romanovs, called The Last Tsar: Blood and Revolution. They have some amazing artefacts, from an old x-ray machine, medical equipment of the period, to actual possessions of the Romanovs, including some of their clothes, jewellery and the diary in which the Tsarina wrote her last words. The exhibition maps out the royal family’s lives and the mystery and tragedy of their deaths — it’s incredibly interesting so do stop by if you can. Tickets are free.
I’ve wanted my own typewriter for years. To not only get to use one, but for it to be my dad’s old one is doubly special. Am I a real bookstagrammer now?!

Back to bookish posts for a bit! I got this book for the plane ride back home and it was the first time in a while that I didn’t sleep on the plane. Lullaby will grip you from the first page and won’t let you go until the very last word. If you like thrillers, be sure to read it.

A day in Vatican City: St Paul’s Church and Vatican Museums (with a few city shots of Rome mixed in).

When in Rome... take photos of everything because every nook and cranny has a story to tell ✨

Today was day 1 in Italy. We spent the day exploring the neighbourhood. So far, the traffic has scared the living daylights out of me, I’ve had far too much cheese and have learnt three and a half new Italian words. Can’t wait for the next adventures.

My first floating bookshop 😋 Word on the Water is the cutest little place stuffed to the brim with bookish knickknacks, old typewriters and of course, books. More books than you can imagine would fit on a boat... but I suppose it’s bigger on the inside 😉
