My mum’s book group read Michael Mosley’s Just One Thing recently and one of them produced this summary of his brilliant, sensible, achievable advice (that we could all benefit from following!) #MichaelMosley #RIPMichaelMosley

On 10 June 1942 Nazis entered Lidice, Czech Republic, shot 173 men, removed the women and children and destroyed the village. Stoke-on-Trent will continue to remember and commemorate the Lidice atrocity. orlo.uk/rMoAN 📷 Lidice memorial tree & sculpture, Hanley

A real supporter of our work with #HeritageSchools Nick was incredibly knowledgeable, warm spirited & mischievous in his humour. Hailing from N East, we both shared a love of #RobinHoodsBay. It was a true privilege to have known Nick.

Congratulations to Ringstead Primary in Northamptonshire for achieving the Heritage Schools Award. The pupils had great enthusiasm for History and their knowledge of the subject was outstanding! Special thanks to Julia, the History Lead. Amazing Work!

Defeat on the pitch today but there is a bigger picture.

Saltburn-by-the-Sea's historic cliff lift has been a much-loved treasure since it opened in 1884. This incredible piece of heritage is made even more unique as it's powered by water. It's one of the oldest water-balanced funiculars in England. 🌊 Happy riding! 🚋
