An Update...

This post is a small update about what I have been doing in the last year. Hello everyone. It's been a while. How are you all doing? I thought that after a year of silence, I ought to explain. In March 2024, I left my job at the Atkinson, Southport, and started full time work in Preston. I now work in a lovely café, where I see squirrels every day, and walk along the Ribble. I am still applying for work in the heritage sector, because I refuse to give up my dream of working in a museum, but reality has kicked in, and I need to pay the bills.  So other than work, what else have been been doing? I am now a published author! In March, I published my first book of poetry, Winters Embrace. I started writing in December last year, and decided to just go for it. I am also working on my second book, which should be coming out soon! I was lucky enough to be asked to put my artwork in an exhibition called The Turning Point. It was incredible to be a part of this. I was fortunate enough to se...

Classical Architecture Tours of Southport

This is a blog post about my tours I did on September 15th 2023.  Molly reaching the end of the tour First things first, I would like to say a huge thank you to all of those who were involved with the tours: Jemma, Andrea, Caroline, Mo and Karen). Another thanks to everyone who came! I had loads of fun rewriting my tour (and doing it!) We started at the Atkinson and finished at the Bold Hotel. We also had a fun time playing "Spot the Column", where we briefly discussed Classical architecture that wasn't a part of the tour. My top 3 buildings: 1. The Atkinson I think it has to be said, that the Atkinson is an incredible looking building, especially when it comes to classical features in the architecture. I would like to point out two things that I am a fan of. The first is the reference to Roman history, with a figure of Julius Caesar on the clocktower. The four figures of the clocktower refer to the four eras of history within Britain with King Caracatus (who was a leader...

Puppetry at the Atkinson

This is a blog post about the making of my puppets, and the Egyptology activity I did at the Atkinson in August 2023. Howard Carter Puppet Part of my services as an Egyptologist, is doing activities for children. One of the activities I did over the summer holidays was teaching children about how the pharaoh, Tutankhamun, was discovered by archaeologist, Howard Carter.  Colourised image of Carter and Tutankhamun The discovery  Howard Carter was born in 1874. He fell in love with Egyptology when he was a young man, and he went off to Egypt on many archaeological digs. It wasn’t until 1909 when he started his own excavations, which is when he met Lord Carnarvon, who financed the trips. Unfortunately, the First World War stopped the dig for a number of years. When he returned, he had found proof that royals were buried in the area, including Tutankhamun. It was in 1917, when he started looking for his tomb, and no one else believed that it was hidden in th...
