I am loving this book so much, when I’m not reading it I miss it. So I got the audio too so I can re listen to what I’ve read. But today I caught up with myself, so all jobs had to stop so I could read more! @Mark__Lawrence

📢 We're reaching new heights! The #reawakening of the #MaisonDieu #Dover is entering an exciting new phase as conservators get to work high up in the ceiling of the Connaught Hall 🏛️ Keep following as we reveal more stunning interiors from William Burges' only civic commission!
Conservation has started on the ceiling of the Connaught Hall at the Maison Dieu in Dover, which is being reawakened in a £10.5m restoration with the National Lottery Heritage Fund and the Wolfson Foundation. In the mid-19th Century, the prominent Victorian architect Ambrose Poynter (1796-1886) extensively restored the Maison Dieu aided by the up-and-coming Gothic Revival architect, William Burges. Burges later went on to further remodel the building and design an assembly hall (the Connaught Hall) and civic offices, including a range of bespoke furniture and interior schemes. The Maison Dieu is the only civic commission by William Burges, and the only intact building in England still containing his decorative scheme, furniture, and fittings.

I’ve been stuck inside my coat for the last hour. Zip will only move up, and I can’t wiggle out. Shall I give up and go to bed in it? #zip #stuck

As lovely as this photo is, it would be remiss of me not to mention, how hard holidaying with a 2 and 4 yr old is! Fun but exhausting and sometimes frustrating. Now for wine.

I waited patiently for this book to be published, then patiently for my birthday, for which this was my only request. NOBODY got it for me. So I have remedied that situation, sometimes you just have to buy your own presents! Oh and it was worth the wait 😍. @Mark__Lawrence #book
