Hello - you’ll be able to find me at @mkatelinsey.bsky.social as we see how that goes

Huge congratulations to this year’s Sandford Award Winners!

What happens when a bunch of museum & heritage learning peeps get together & they visit a load of venues? My timeline becomes filled with photos of either interpretation/exhibition panels & displays or fab dressing up models (aka sector colleagues). I’m here for both 😀

So much to ruminate on from day 1 of the @gem_heritage #GEMConference2024 with some great takeaways from the keynote speakers, member presentations and the buzz of conversations. So lovely to see old friends & make new ones as well.

Well that was a fun tube journey this morning 🤦🏻‍♀️ gotta love malfunctioning trains & lack of phone signal.

The last few months have been difficult on a personal level. I'm starting to take small positive steps forward including moving into a brand new small office & moving back to the Amersham area. Big Changes, Small Steps

so I've put my request in via askmyGP to get an appointment. I wonder how long it will be to get a response?

So today the end of the year art show was being mounted at @WAESonline. This painting took my breath away - so poignant and breathtakingly inspiring.

Fab few days @BCLivingMuseum for the @Aimuseums conference. Lots of food for thought, good friends & colleagues plus the new development is fantastic (with many things on display from my childhood that brought back memories & sparked conversations). Thank you to all.

What’s the theatre or concert hall’s equivalent to @gem_heritage & @engagevisualart? I’m supporting some apprentices & I’d love to signpost them to the best supportive networks for learning & participation with these art forms

This am my uncle died, aged 89. We didn’t always see eye to eye, in fact we rarely did. He was, however, always there for me when I needed him the most. May he rest in peace.
