Britain’s Christmas Story returns to BBC2 this weekend. Tune in to see the world’s first Christmas card The Postal Museum 🎅🎅🎅

Please join me on BBC Radio 4 tonight at 8pm and uncover the history of letters to Santa. The earliest letter our team The Postal Museum found is from my home county, Lincolnshire, in the late 19th century 💌🎅

Busy few days over here as we’re getting ready for Christmas, moving house and I have my driving test on New Years Eve 🤯 but it was lovely to have a quick chat with BBC Lincolnshire this morning about The Postal Museum, letters to Santa and the special link to Grantham town 🎅🎅🎅

Lovely write up in BBC Yorkshire 🎅 just to clarify my wonderful former colleague The Postal Museum Ashley March undertook this original research & I’m proud to trumpet his findings. Hope Santa brought y’all everything you wished for 😉 happy nye ✌️

We're excited to announce a new temporary exhibition #WishYouWereHere which celebrates and explores the iconic role the postcard has played in connecting people for more than a century and a half. Opening 1 April -> bit.ly/3bJjLIT

Thanks to Felix, 9, for providing this positive message for us during this hard time. Part of #covidletters, children have been using pens, pencils, paint and collage to make their voices heard. ow.ly/vxE950D6caj Jonny Banger jeremy deller The National Lottery Heritage Fund Arts Council England

That moment of panic when your phone battery inexplicably drops and won’t charge while giving a live radio interview 😱

Bring on the cuddles!

Thank you so much for having me Dr. Nelly Ben Hayoun-Stepanian and happy first birthday to the Nelly Boum Show. Probably the first time I've had a pre-recording dance with the show's host while waiting to go live :D :D :D This was such a joy to record!

A new blog from me about a recent The Postal Museum acquisition - Elizabeth Barrett Browning's letter to her cousin, describing her isolation and longing for home while recovering from illness. Something lots of people can probably relate to right now...

We made a movie 🍿🎥This is the first video I've filmed and I admit to feeling *a little* nervous BUT I loved every minute of researching the language of stamps in The Postal Museum collections and The British Newspaper Archive Hope you enjoy these stories as much as I do! bit.ly/3zZIUak
