@hisdoryan Sadly there are 100s of amazing events from Britain’s history not included on the curriculum. It wasn’t in my day. Most of my education has come from my parent and my own endeavour. It is one of the reasons in my view why a lot of kids have little pride In their home.

@GawainTowler Virtue signalling, utter rubbish.

@LandscapeIan @ShuttleworthDS Is*

@LandscapeIan @ShuttleworthDS It is isn’t it. Hope you’ve seen human nature. My favourite.

@Jewel_Lia I put deodorant in the fridge one. I feel ya

I was so dead this morning that I poured coffee in my cereal instead of milk. I added milk and now I have invented a new breakfast. Just like the discovery of penicillin

@roberrttoa I still can’t do that at work and I left uni 13 years ago lol. True they are talking shit

Dance of Death scenes at Newark. #tudor #art #history #Nottinghamshire

@ralphharrington @roberrttoa Apologies, I’m not on Twitter often. Thanks for the comments. It’s a gorgeous piece.

Beautiful font with skilled arcadimg following the contours of thr bowel. A great Norman piece. #york #Yorkshire #beautiful #medieval

The Prince Rupert (1452). Newark. A small attractive market town which was under siege a number of times in the civil wars. The 3 bays were truncated due to siege damage so this was a larger building once. It is well restored with mercifully unblackened timbers.

@roberrttoa Me too, childhood memories. And seeing the fireworks in cabinets in newsagents. A rocket nearly hit my car earlier.

@BrandtDouglasN @PatSTaylorBrumh Stunning

The door into the south porch of Howden Minster. (After 1272; probably 1280s or -90s?) Of striking willfulness, but I love it: it seems like a portal into a strange and wonderful world.

A hand brand for felons and deserters, from 1642-9. A British civil war piece used by Royalists and heated before application to brand the treacherous whoremonger for life. It makes me itchy just looking at it, especially the C R which signifies Charles 1 is the current monarch.

Remember, remember...

@About1816 @penswordbooks Will let you know tomorrow. I’m heading there . I want a Cromwell mug haha

30 years ago this week, the final episode of Blackadder Goes Forth "Goodbyeee" was broadcast. It is a scene all fans cherish. It reminded us all of the horrors of war, despite it being a comedy. So poignant at this time of year. #PoppyAppeal #Blackadder twitter.com/EatKnuckleFrit…

@About1816 @penswordbooks Can’t wait. I loved your first book on the subject and have just got the other one on Cromwell. Any hints on the new one? Well done. I’m off to the civil war museum in Newark tomorrow funnily enough.

@About1816 @amazon Just bought this

@MorleyRA You do super human things for churches if that helps

This weekend my nephew asked me if I could see electrons. His unfaltering faith my in super-powers is so life-affirming. Regrettably, I can’t see sub-atomic particles with my bare eyes.
