This portrait of Charles #Dickens was believed lost for 174 years! Now it’s been found, in a manner reminiscent of a Dickens #novel. If you’d like to help @DickensMuseum buy the #DickensLostPortrait & bring it back home, here’s the link: dickensmuseum.com/pages/lost-por… Thank you!

It's one month until Christmas, and #OTD 150 years ago Dickens was getting his festive plans in order, inviting Austen Henry Layard (famous for his excavations of Nimrud and Nineveh) to spend Christmas with him. #toosoon #itsonlyNovemberCharles

Okay folks, the follow-up story here is that @philipmould has generously granted first refusal on the #Dickens portrait to the @DickensMuseum so it can stay in the public realm, so the fundraising starts now! You can help at dickensmuseum.com/pages/donations

On my way home from the official unveiling of the lost Charles Dickens portrait - what a discovery! Painted in 1843 and lost since 1844, and now found in South Africa!

3 of my immediate family have had cancer in the last year. I’m not very religious, but I’m praying with every shred of faith I might have for my aunt to pull through, following her surgery for bowel cancer. The next few hours are critical. Spare a thought. We have so little hope.

Public libraries and libraries in primary schools are closing. How then are children from families that cannot afford books going to be able to become readers for pleasure? This is a social mobility time bomb. There is a petition below that you could sign and RT
Nicholas Poole OBE Hon. FCLIP@NickPoole1
I have a meeting at the House of Commons next week where I can use this petition as evidence of public support for #library funding - please RT, share & ask family and friends to sign! petition.parliament.uk/petitions/2287…

Please retweet to help raise awareness of the plight of Gwydir Castle’s ancient trees.
They are slowly drowning.
An anti-flooding scheme upstream now shunts flood water into the Grade 1 listed garden. Thank you for caring.
Gwydir Castle@JudyCorbett
One of Gwydir's venerable, old #yew trees we're trying to protect from flooding. The Lover's Tree said to be over 1000 years old. There are over 82 #TreePreservationOrders in the garden. Worth protecting? Last week @WelshGovernment said not. We'll keep on sandbagging...
