#otd 1825 Mary Morland saw some lamas at Farringdon - the letter she wrote to tell her betrothed William Buckland about it survives. It was her birthday! I think she would enjoy the gorgeous alpacas ⁦@HornimanMuseum⁩ Happy Birthday Mary ⁦@morethanadodo⁩

It’s so satisfying to see the fruits of our labour come together And if comments from the Private View are anything to go by, I think it’ll be popular 😃 Come & see our FAB (she says humbly 😆) new exhibition Breaking Ground, featuring Megalosaurus! 🦖 #FossilFriday #Dinosaur
