Look at my fancy new ring!  I love it - I treated myself to this gorgeous Ellis Mhairi Mini Signet Ring as a celebration for graduating from my MLitt! Well that was kinda the excuse, as I had actually graduated in 2021... and I was also telling myself that I should just #treatyoself because it was …

As you probably know, I studied at the University of St Andrews not once (for my MA (Hons)) but actually twice (for my MLitt).  And I graduated from my MLitt back at the start of summer. While we were up in St Andrews for the graduation ceremony, we of course had a few lovely walks around the town.…
