What a wonderful post. I'll have to check out Doomesday Inks. And I'm so sorry you got mansplained — sometimes the lack of self-awareness is amazing, isn't it. Been there! They always think they're being so "helpful."
I wish you had argued with the man mansplaining to you. How will he learn otherwise that he doesn’t know everything? We all need to speak up during these times.
Does it sounds like a big project, absolutely, but what a lovely project it is! Getting to know Cromwell from his correspondence, another glimpse into his life I’d never thought I’d get from ‘just reading’ the book. Thank you for sharing!
I so enjoyed this post--and seethe in solidarity with you--regarding the know-it-all in the art shop. ♡

He will never learn. He won’t even hear the arguments. He will be too busy thinking up how to show you he knows. These men abound
Yes but still…I couldn’t have stayed quiet…

Maybe he was one of those who survives on four hours a night?
I'm pretty sure Master Cromwell would have had short shrift for someone explaining to him something that was irrelevant to him.
What a beautiful project! And what beautiful artefacts! Thank you.
