At the moment I've been asked to do an exhibition for the John Ryland's library about Robert Donat. It's been a great experience and I've loved looking through the archives, something I've wanted to do for a long time. It goes up the 9th of May for a few months and then will go back up after a major exhibition about King James Bible comes down. I'm also meeting his family! What a privilege, to meet the people I'm writing about, who I'm researching. The objects I finally picked out included-

• An old homemade pamphlet that Donat made when he was a young boy. So cute! 
• Vintage posters from his early performances 
• Lovely letters from Donat to his family. So tender and beautiful!
• Writing about when he was young and the wonderful innocence of youth.

I can't wait to see it up and put up some pictures of it. Been so busy recently. I am going to Korea in the summer and am currently planning what to do/how to survive.
