I’m just putting the finishing touches to this talk. Looking forward to sharing the stories of these children.

That’s what I’ve been saying for about 6 months now!

Sorry not to post correctly for #ConfinedCocktails yesterday but there were some celebrations in our house. Mine was a lychee martini!

Ah wow that’s a momento to have

Wow and Coventry did it! Congratulations to @sampscaroline.bsky.social

See you at Anfield next season!

This doesn’t ring true . You either pass DV or you don’t. No need to say why.

Why would the vetters say that it was ultimately the decision of the FCDO who had asked them to do the vetting??????

Rogue one of course, with a sideline in Night at the Museum (thanks @dannybirchall.bsky.social )

37 years on from the day that led to the unlawful deaths of 97 Liverpool fans and a year on from when a promised Hillsborough Law should have been in place, the message to the Prime Minister is simple…

Four medieval manuscript scenes arranged in a grid, each labelled one to four. One shows a figure slumped asleep on a bed; two shows figure holding something heavy among decorative foliage; three shows a person lying face down on a bench; four shows two figures one beating the other with a stick while falling onto a bear-like creature.

First full week back after the bank holidays… 📜

How are we feeling?
1, 2, 3 or 4?

Holmes & Co. of Derby: Royal Carriage Makers Few people outside The Carriage Foundation will know the name Holmes & Co., even in Derby, where the company was headquartered for over 100 years. Not only was Holmes & Co. one of the most …

Don’t you love it when you are oohing and ahing over an archive collection on Antiques Roadshow, then find out it’s in public hands! Brilliant work @derbyshiredro.bsky.social and the people who helped save it.

And yes, this message is the result of a project I’m working on. Currently I’ve got projects on graveyards, witches, orphans and ET. Is it any wonder I get confused???

This message is written on a Golden Record that is still travelling on the Voyager space craft, almost 50 years later. Sending hope out to you all!

This allows cultural spaces across the UK to sign up and get their venue on a digital map of venues that can offer cool spaces in hot weather!

Of, not if, the Annunciation….obvs

Yet again I say how wonderful Lottery money is for heritage.

Edinburgh King's Theatre set to open in July after four-year makeover Capital Theatres have given a look behind the scenes of the dramatic transformation of the 120-year-old theatre.

School activities, dementia groups and oral histories.

I’ve visited so many times, wondering if it would ever be back together. I can tell you, it has, & with such care & love. I can’t wait to see the final product.

1st look at Edinburgh King's ahead of July opening www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

For 7yrs I’ve been support the Kings as they made their funding bid to the National Lottery Heritage Fund, then delivered it. It’s involved ripping a much loved theatre apart, redesigning the public areas, researching its history, managing its archives & rebuilding it. There has been volunteering,
