Back again to @castindoncaster to see Casting the Runes by the incredible @BoxTaleSoup Wow, that was beautiful. The choreography was just stunning. Scary, yes, but stunning. See it if you can!
Just got home to see this little chonk in my back garden. Oh great hedgehog whisperer @industrialteg I know you must have sent it to make me smile. Thank you! ❤️

Now that my lovely scuba diving sister-in-law has received her gift, I wanted to share a photo of my latest piece of glasswork. It was a fun one to make.
Back from a short trip to the Netherlands. I took lots of geeky photos of really slick museum interpretation, but also managed to take some pretty ones (incl obligatory windmill)!
A short trip to London to see my fabulous family. Exhibitions at @ExploreWellcome@britishlibrary and the hidden gem of @drjohnsonshouse One evening at @_bridgetheatre and another at Canary Wharf Winter Lights. Very few photos, but good times and the best company.

ALT Black and white photo of two Fryston men standing in the sea off Scarborough beach, which almost comes up to their knees. One is in a rather revealing bathing suit, and looks a bit like an unamused Tommy Shelby. The other is more formally dressed but has rolled his trousers up past his knees. Photo taken by Jack Hulme, circa 1940s

I have been using this same advent calendar by @Sallyswannell for 7 years now. I'm sure that a tiny clockwork mouse shouldn't make me this happy - but it does - every time!
