I will always love you by Witney Houston. It’s nails on a chalkboard to my ears…

I’m 100% behind this but it’s a non-starter if local authorities continue to underfund or close libraries and don’t support professional, qualified staff. Library work is now often thought interchangeable with customer services like paying council tax and applying for bus passes. #librairies #books

Relatable.

On Monday our instagram account was hacked and then deleted. We received a ransom note to recover it; obviously we couldn't and wouldn't pay, and therefore lost thousands of followers. Meta support was useless. But we're BACK with a new account: @littletollerbooks. Can you follow us there and share?

The word ‘entered’ is doing some heavy lifting there. We’ve been in it for quite a while but the current volume has made it more evident.

Politics and sense - rarely appear in the same sentence. 🧐

Stop. It. Now.

The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald by Gordon Lightfoot is a stunning piece of storytelling.

Stop it.

Relatable.

I was given this kit for Christmas - it looks amazing! 😀

Thank you. Hope you are well and maybe catch up in 2025? Happy Solstice…

We said goodbye to our beloved Smartie today 💔 He’s been part of our family for 14 years and brought so much love, fun and havoc into our lives. Sleep well little one 😘

Greetings from our Pliosaurus carpenteri aka Doris here in Bristol.

A few years ago I received a load of thank you letters after a class visit. One child wrote that their favourite bit was the ancient Egypt gallery because they ‘licked’ the mummies. I didn’t tell Conservation. #Museumeducator #mummies

I feel seen.

That’s the prototype Doris plushie - all the new stock has been stuck on a container ship in Hamburg but now has made it to Dover 🤪🤣

Shop display unit with copies of a children’s picture book called Is that Doris? arranged vertically and horizontally.

My latest project was delivered today with the official launch of our first ever children’s story book at the #museum. Is that Doris? is based on the Pliosaurus carpenteri fossil in the collections AND there’s a cuddly pliosaur too. Being a #MuseumEducator is never dull!

I’ve done ancient Egyptian maths in the past 🤪
