Have you ever read a book that made you cry? I’ve listened to songs that have made me cry. I’ve watched movies that have made me cry. But I’ve NEVER once read a book that made me cry. Name a book in the comments that brought you to tears.

@janempalin @LichfieldLore I seem to remember “save Hopwas woods” was a thing in the 70’s. I assume from house building? Are they still saved? 🤔🤞

I'm writing about witchcraft in Staffordshire and, as if by magic, I saw these marks in Tamworth today. The custodians of the castle believe they were made when James I came to stay and wanted some apotropaic protection for his accommodation.

@GillyUsborne @corrie_corfield They’ve inspired me to take up tapestry! Such a lovely vibe between mother and son. Just loved them, the whole series was terrific.

@corrie_corfield Aren’t Emma and Harry just lovely?

Michelle Mone received £29m of pure profit, because her husband helped secure £200m of useless PPE. RT if you would like to get the money back and toss them both in jail.

@Steve_Parrett “Father and Son” gets me every time 😥

Yusuf/Cat Stevens. We’ve loved his music since we were first together. Getting rather emotional right now. #Glastonbury #glastonbury2023

@LichfieldLore This was the under age pub of choice during the mid 70’s. Martini and lemonade with no questions asked 🤪. (I was 15!)

It's just occurred to me that Lichfield's grand old Duke of York is at the top of the hill.

@ProfBrianCox Snap. I believe we walked past you on Circular Quay yesterday 🤩 My first time in Sydney, fantastic city.

Looking very beautiful this evening Sydney :-)

@MirandaKeeling These are wonderful, twitter at it’s best ❤️

For many years I have been posting little observations on here. What you may not know is that for many years, artists have been illustrating them - for no reason other than they wanted to respond. Below is a thread of some of these beautiful drawings, because they should be seen:

@Steve_Parrett It’s tricky this year. I’m stuck between several but will settle on Syabira

@DeborahMeaden I’ve reported FIVE Facebook posts for the slimming pills in the last 2 days! Who are these people? Easy to get sucked in. I checked the website and now have a subscription for Fussy 😊 Much better!

SCAM ALERT: treat any ads for slimming pills, bitcoins, health supplements etc claiming I endorse them treat with extreme caution. Search or check my website out. If it’s not there it’s nothing to do with me!!

@mrmarksteel Has anyone mentioned the medieval ship? Found in the river bank and, allegedly being restored. When will you be recording?

Attention 🎺I have an urgent question. What do we know about Newport in Wales? To put this another way, it's in Wales but what else does anyone know?

@drrichardstemp Dear Dr. Stemp, we are visiting Umbria next week, staying in the Assisi region. Other than the obvious church of St. Francis are there any hidden gems we should hunt out? I am sure I remember a mention in one of your lock down lectures but not sure where. 🙏🏼
