Times are tough right now, I know. There is so much going on in the world you almost feel like you can’t complain, but the reality is that being in lockdown is straight-up boring. Not to mention the impact on people’s mental health, I know I’m suffering a little. I don’t know about you, but I’m really struggling to pass the time. I don’t want to just be sat around doing nothing, I intend to use this time effectively and productively. So, I’ve done some digging and found some cool things related to history and fashion you can do.

Here are all of the history and fashion related things I’ve found to keep you busy during this tough time. I am currently doing the futurelearn online course in the History of royal fashion, it’s great fun! I fully intend to do the genealogy and Irish 101 courses too. If you decide to do any let me know, I’d love to know what you think of them. Keep safe and stay indoors.
