Many of the Spaniards evacuated from France came to Britian via Plymouth. 3 Spaniards from No. 1 Spanish Coy were killed in the Plymouth Blitz in the spring of 1941 too...#ContinuingtheFight

OTD in Dec 1940 No. 1 Spanish Coy was in Plymouth after an intensive period of training & work on defences. But the company was soon visited on the 2nd Dec 1940 at Millbay Drill Hall by a Major Hugh Quennell head of H Section of the SOE covering the Iberian Peninsula. 1/

I tried my hand at carding wool on Thursday at the Museum of Dartmoor Life in Okehampton, Devon @dartmoorlife
Dyeing on Dartmoor - a very good exhibition about wool, moorland life and natural dyes is well worth a visit

We’re off to the #coast for today's #OnlineArtExchange @artukdotorg for @worcestermuseum’s British Impressionism exhibition
We love the bold, primary colours that Lewis G. Dye's 'North Devon Coast' (Braunton and District Museum, @devonmuseums) and Wildman's 'Cornish Coast' share

Fond memories of the museum. Stayed nearby for a few months in 1989 and had our banns read in Honiton too, which was rather pointless as nobody knew us there. This is the little souvenir I still have. It is tiny but was all I could afford.
