I’ve decided that I’m gonna be sending this blog to the grave. I’m never on tumblr anymore, have little interest in maintaining this account and am investing my time and efforts elsewhere.

I’ve met some absolutely incredible people through this site and the online community of young historians that was formed through it, and I genuinely wish all of you the very best - Willow, Meredith, Amanda, Chris, Lucy, Julia, Shane, Liv, Rory, Jo, Emma, Christina and anybody else I had the legit pleasure of speaking with, thank you.

If you’d like to keep in touch, your best bet is probably to follow me on Instagram, my account is @garnetportrait. You’re welcome to follow me on there, mutual or not!

I’m gonna log out of here in the morning and change the password to something long and stupid that I’ll never remember - that way this blog will become a time capsule for me, and maybe even for others.

Tatty bye history tumblr, it’s been a blast! ✌🏻

I watched lost in translation last night for the first time in nearly five years. Still just as good as the first time I saw it. It’s my favourite movie ever.

More advice needed I’m afraid guys 😅

I’m sorely tempted to apply for this copywriting role, where I would be producing content for a travel company who specialise in historical & heritage tours, both in the UK and abroad. 37 hours a week and a good starting salary. The problem? I’ve never done any proper copywriting in my life - the closest I’ve come to it is writing two different scripts for past exhibitions during my time at Blenheim. I’ve got the historical side under my belt via Blenheim and my undergraduate degree, and the written aspect in terms of my novel, but I just feel the rest of it will be one massive blag. They said experience is preferred but mentions nothing about it being essential, and the advert has been on this website for over 30 days, if their data is correct.

What say you? Reach for the stars and apply, or hold off for fear of being shot down?
