We said farewell to our dear Horatio today. He wasn’t a well boy for the whole time we had him, though he was always full of joy and a big part of the family. He will be dearly missed but he will live long in our memories. #hedgewatch 🌈Horatio, Lady Hamilton, Bertie, Violet & 🌈Monty

A rare poster from the 1930s has been donated to Cambridge University Library. The poster, which advertised a meeting of the #Lakenheath branch of the League of Nations, was discovered in a shed, still stuck to a piece of wood! Read the full story: loom.ly/VJ8iCIg.

I don’t post very often but this is well worth it. A top notch tribute. I have never been a huge Sabbath fan but the metal music I listen to wouldn’t exist without their trailblazing ways, that’s for sure!
