Chilly!

I woke up to the brightest frosty morning imaginable. A quick look around the garden revealed these ivy leaves iced around the edges. When it’s sunny like today, I really love winter.

I attended at talk at the Fitzwilliam Museum today by one of the curators of the current Black Atlantic exhibition. She described how this show was a first effort on the long road to reassessing the connections between the origins of the collection and the slave trade, in all its appalling forms. It was a fast paced and fascinating talk that drove me to the bookshop to buy the catalogue, which I’d decided not to do after I’d seen the exhibition a couple of weeks ago. There was so much in the talk that I want to investigate further It’s a really interesting read and I recommend the exhibition, which closes on January 7th.

Hope you all stayed warm. Thank you very much for recent stars and hearts, they’re very much appreciated.
