- It positively glows, this early 1890s tea gown by Emile Pingat. The variegated black & yellow silk creates a kind of burnished hue, additional drama fashioned in full sleeves & high collar. It seems quite structured for a tea gown but it certainly makes a statement #NatGalleryAus #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

- @lucindahawksley.bsky.social That was a fascinating tour of Charles Dickens' London home in Doughty St yesterday evening, Lucinda, and it was lovely to meet you. Thanks also for signing and dedicating my nephew's early Christmas present to me - what larks! Best wishes 😊
- DF Central Christmas celebrations in London today, with a wonderful guided walk, led by our President, @lucindahawksley.bsky.social, followed by a delicious lunch at the beautifully Pickwickian tavern The George and Vulture 🎄
- I had an absolutely wonderful time this afternoon - it’s the perfect festive literary walk, and I can’t recommend it highly enough!

- Yesterday the world lost one of its greatest Dickens scholars, Professor Michael Slater MBE. He was DF President 1988-1990 and Hon Editor of ‘The Dickensian’ 1958-1977, and wrote the definitive biography of CD. His warmth and wisdom will be sorely missed. RIP Michael.
