Today I booked my first train ticket in 5 years and my first one since using a wheelchair. Nervous, obviously, but suspect I’ll spend most of the journey as excited as a toddler 🚆

The internet has gone down for my entire town. It may take days to be fixed. Fabulous 🙄

Fascinating evening spent listening to Jim Irvine talk about the Roman villa in Rutland. Brilliant to hear how it was discovered and all of the juicy little details

It’s the end of an era today as my eldest has left for Newcastle. I will miss him hugely, but he was ready to leave. Last night he was trying to mansplain the 1990s (when I started university) to me, so it’s time for him to do that to someone else!

An intriguing murder in Werrington from the early twentieth century

Hurrah!! It's finally dropped!! I did a lot of really cool work on this! A different vibe to Lady Killers, they could have subtitled it 'The Audacity'

A beautiful morning visit to the Welland in its autumn finery

As we move in to #autumn, here's a nice sunflower shot from last weekend in #rutland #sunset

This very unscientific measurement is from my trusty garden bucket that I emptied on Friday evening because my pond needed topping up. In the last three days we’ve had 70mm of rain! That’s more than we normally get in a month and I think we had less than nearby Peterborough

My rabbit hole this week is the Erfurt Latrine Disaster of 1184: It killed perhaps as many as 100 of the aristocracy of the Holy Roman Empire, when they plunged into a latrine beneath the church they were gathered in as the floor gave way. podfollow.com/1671879772/view

For all you grammar lovers out there! 😍

Did you know about gauged brickwork? Thanks for showing me SPAB

This afternoon we’re playing an invigorating game of bin, thunder or plane. I think it might actually be thunder in the distance, but it is bin day! ⛈️

Remembering when I was lucky enough to work with one of Maggie Smith’s dresses from Downton Abbey at Peterborough Museum. I’m sure there will be pictures somewhere
