Hadrian’s Wall at Windshields Crags. The end of a Roman day spent ⁦Vindolanda Trust⁩. First the forts and then the wall, perfect day.

Holmwood a pause in the restoration this afternoon. The room feels of a moment and a style both past and present , lovely. Ian Howie⁩ ⁦National Trust for Scotland⁩

Glorious 1980's creativity Dennis Severs' House in Simon Pettet’s Tiles, who, like many of the era, succumbed to the scourge of the time, #AIDS. Thanks Spitalfields Life for adopting the role of chimney sweeps apprentice to unveil these gems. spitalfieldslife.com/2020/03/11/sim…

⁦mary beard⁩ Last week I finally saw a section of Hadrian’s wall. I can’t thank my classics teacher, long gone, but thanks to him and historians like you I enjoyed it and appreciated it—a pile of stones—sans further elucidation. The knowledge a teacher imparts lasts.

⁦Dr. Kimberly Alexander⁩ Thought of you last week as we turned a corner and saw a wall of wall of excavated Roman shoes ⁦Vindolanda Trust⁩. I know you’re 18th & 19th and these are 2nd & 3rd, but still...

The holiday set that never left. A standard gauge set on a 4 foot table. It runs most nights. ⁦⁦Tim Dunn⁩ for model train day.

Finally got to see ⁦@HolmwoodGlasgow⁩ and it was magnificent. As a mental break during lockdown, I used the 2m of greek key gimp and fabric from years ago to recover the derelict footstool. Not sure Thomson would approve, but it will always remind me of his house.

⁦UofG Alumni⁩ here’s a bit of tartan for the day and UofG mementos tagging along #uofgtartanday and #NYCTW

The tulips are up ⁦The Warner House⁩ thanks to the volunteers of the Portsmouth Garden Club.

And whilst your minds are in Cathcart, can we please encourage you to sign the petition set up by the wonderful team of volunteers at @HolmwoodGlasgow asking NTS to review their decision to close the building till 2022: change.org/p/national-tru…

Two nails found under plaster during a repair ⁦The Warner House⁩. 5 years of research trying to understand 18th c wall repairs & these appear & are similar in height to extant paneling—it’s the 1st solid indication that the room may have had paneling. Maybe not but still..

Well we couldn’t have a physical exhibition this year ⁦The Warner House⁩, so with help from ⁦New Hampshire Humanities⁩ & the ⁦National Endowment for the Humanities⁩ we converted our weekly glassware postings into panels & each week a new one is placed on the fence for the public—eventually 25 panels.

The garden is open ⁦The Warner House⁩ and with help from ⁦New Hampshire Humanities⁩ & ⁦National Endowment for the Humanities⁩ we were able to create panels for visitors that tell short histories of the occupants and the enslaved who passed through this house.

Descendants just returned the upper piece of Spitalfields silk to ⁦The Warner House⁩ after 88 years. It was part of the 1932 inheritance dispersal. Both pieces are Spitalfields silk from the 1730s. The lower piece has seen more light. The colors and silver shimmer.

The calm before the storm, a brisk morning on 2nd of March 2020 ⁦Stirling Castle⁩. Brilliant, foreboding, and brooding—spot on. Wanted to visit for years and glad we pushed ourselves to do it.

One year ago today at Castle Campbell. Well worth the ramble to reach it. @HisEnvScot Historic Scotland
