So-Shan Au

My friend from HK sent me a pic of the plant I bought her this time last year when I was visiting and it cheered me up so I’m going to post a pic a day of my plants to cheer up this timeline 💚🌿🌱Feel free to join in. I can also count how many I have too 🤣 Friend’s plant today

A blooming fantastic Big Help Out Case Study: Sow-along Sunflowers 🌻 So-Shan Au of the @queenspromenade came up with the idea for a community action, ‘Sow-along Sunflowers’ for #TheBigHelpOut 2023. 🧵1/6

Chilly but enjoyable 20 minute walk to ring, 30 mins on the tenor, walk home. To be repeated later for #Evensong but in the dark. Phone torch at the ready to walk through the churchyard 😱. Good to have Adrian with us today @KingstonRingers @soshanau #bellringing

I am delighted and humbled to share the news that I have been awarded an MBE in the #NewYearsHonours list for services to bellringing in London and Kent. I am grateful to everyone who shares and encourages the passion that is #bellringing and belfry archaeology.

“Help”

The developers slapped beige paint on the Whitechapel Bell Foundry to cover up the graffiti and obliterated the 19th century woodgraining. It is painful to witness this decay, when @thelondonbellf are offering to buy it to cast bells again and cherish the historic buildings.

@HistoryLondon @thegentleauthor @typeasimage @soshanau @DFletcherArtist @BishopsgateInst @LondonHistorian @LoveBthnlGreen @huguenotmuseum @NorthCrayMal The Boss of Bethnal Green is a really good read. I recommend it.

The University of Kyoto in Japan allows students to wear anything they want for their Graduation ceremony. This is the way.
