@lucy_huggins Found your interesting PHd thesis on Old Bailey proceedings. My daughter is going on a school trip to the Bailey and I told her about our ancestor who was sentenced there. James Charlick was my Great x3 Grandfather who features in your thesis.

An exciting (& slightly scary) day for the Maritime Britain team @HistoryAtSoton. We've received c. 1 million merchant ship voyages (1565-1765) from our work on the E 190 Port Books (stored @UkNatArchives) using our HTR training. Now all we've got to do is curate the data...

#shipoftheday This has to be our new favourite vessel name, a 2-ton cockboat in Faversham, Kent, in 1580 called the 'Cowe tourde' (Cow Turd)!

Wow Wow Wow Volume Up! I’ve never caught this on camera before, Little Nutmeg and Fox Cub Toffee. You can see how submissive Toffee is and that is because Badgers are top dog, but I’ve never seen Nutmeg share so closely with a fox. From my experience and I’ve said this before, the badgers seem to be more accepting of fox cubs as if they sense they are just learning. I feel very proud of Nutmeg as Mr Lumpy was just as gentle and tolerant 🙏🦡🦊🐾🐾❤️

@PlymPrivateer Absolutely fancied his chances. But they are bitey little buggers with big claws so I abandoned any Snow White type ideas and backed away.
