Moira Bonnington's Comments

Hello Moira
That research sounds really interesting and I look forward to hearing more about it. Have you come across Stana Nenadic's work on Scottish military officers and polite society?

The macaronis are a fascinating subject. Given your interest in Hornbeck and the fact that he clearly travelled widely, I'd be interested in your view on whether this type of consumption was possible/meaningful outside the 'hothouse' of London.

Dear Moira,

Thanks for getting in touch. Your project sounds really interesting, with a very clear focus. I'm working my way through C18, and have not yet arrived at the 1770s. If I turn up anything that might look useful to you, I'll let you know!

Hiya Moira,

 

No problems! I'm glad I managed to get it all on video. I'm hopefully going to Kelmarsh History Weekend next week so I will take more videos there and put the links up for anyone who's interested.

 

I'd love to meet up with you whenever you come up to Leeds. Just let me know when you are up!

 

Hope you're ok and had a relaxing weekend.

 

Gem. 

Hi Moira,

Many thanks! I am glad that you enjoyed my talk. I also enjoyed yours and learnt much on maccaronis and attitudes to gender among soldiers.
