Today I want to take a moment to shout out my lockdown heroes. People who have really helped make this time bearable. These are just a few but I am SO thankful for you all!

First up @DanNouveau. We’ve been friends for ages but I’ve been video chatting with you almost every day and you have lifted my spirits every day. Thanks for keeping me busy and being my confidante when I’ve needed to vent.

Next @KonFot it’s been so cool to make a new friend during lockdown. I’ve appreciated our chats and occasional Greek lessons a hell of a lot! Cheers dude!

I’ve adored @museumgirlldn for many years but thanks again for making me laugh and just commiserating on our shared experience of being extroverts stuck indoors!!!

I adore you and can’t wait till we can drink too much at a conference again soon.

Hey @nmjcoveney We’ve only achieved one long distance workout and it was ridiculous (see picture! ) But as ever I’ve adored our chats and coffee breaks. Checking in on each other has kept me feeling buoyant and purposeful.

Did you think I’d forgotten you @SheldonKGoodman ?!?! Of course not, we have a coffee most mornings and it’s kept me sane. Thanks for being the loveable weirdo with an incredibly big heart that I couldn’t live without. You really have been a fantastic friend to me.

Hey @ahistorygirl thanks for your daily videos. It’s kept me going on mine. Your enthusiasm is inspirational! You are the future of the museum sector x

Oi @ScottFlashheart thanks for being a cheerleader and the occasional reality check. I love our chats and appreciate your frank but gentle perspective. I’m so pleased we made friends before Lockdown. (Also thanks for your dulcet tones in my ear holes!)

Ok the big one. Thanks to the man who probably won’t even read this. My husband. You are a champion and I don’t know what I’d do without you x
