One of the mandatory stops ⁦Audrey Collins (1954-2023)⁩ would make when she visited me in Boston. I stopped by today for a bit and let many wonderful memories sweep in.

As a Scot living most of her life in England I can heartily agree with you! No explanation though, except that in my experience a lot of Scots and English people have a pretty poor knowledge of parts of their own countries, let alone other parts of the UK

Having swallowed my own body-weight in pills (as usual) and sorting the next few days supply in my new pill-sorter, I am rewarding myself with a couple of biscuits, an ‘Richard Osman’s House of Games’ on BBC iPlayer. Today was a good day 😊

Radio silence is over - was avoiding spoilers until I watched the Strictly Come Dancing final I recorded last night.💃🕺

1/3 I’ve been working with The National Archives to develop an educational resource that examines some of the key events that contributed to the tragic and ‘bloody’ Bangladesh War of Independence 1971, where so many lives were lost. Sham K #Anti-racist #Benglish 🇬🇧🇧🇩 Partition Education Group

Thrilled to see you there, too, along a couple of other people I know, all very well-deserved. Congratulations!!!

Hello and welcome to this unboxing thread for TNA KB 118/1, one of the most interesting documents I've looked at in a while. [1/9] discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/r/C214…

Home sweet home. Oh, how I have missed you, my own lovely TV! (Just catching up on some essential viewing 🙂

Today, I will mostly be wearing a black polo shirt, and black trousers, to tone well with my 'Xena Warrior Princess' body armour (it's a neck brace). Tastefully accessorised with a couple of stray baked beans...🙄

...because they thought it was the rent man.

Couldn’t agree more. When enquirers say xxx isn’t in the xxx census, I say they could only be sure of that if they had looked at every single page of that census (tactfully, of course) then advise them on how to search properly (also tactfully). It usually works! 🙂

Nurse just said I have very good skin 😊. I haven’t used soap on my face since I was about 15, and I’m nearer to 70 than 60 now - sometimes daft teenagers make good decisions, and that was mine!

#census Just saw a post you could summarise as 'I can't find my ancestors in (major city) in the (xxx) census, so the records for there must have been destroyed' spoiler alert - they weren't! 🙄 #genealogy
