This is the terrarium in our lounge. I inherrited it from my parents. My mum sealed it in around 1972 when I was 3. It has never been watered since. I cannot prove it of course, but I have just discovered that is equal to the world record which is kind of an eye opener!

Camberwick Green (21st February 1966). Here is a box, a musical box, wound up and ready to play. But this box can hide a secret inside, can you guess what is in it today?

As I said yesterday, America, your usual tourist demographic from friendly countries don't hate you. We're not holidaying in America anymore because your police keep doing this and so you are considered an unsafe state to travel to.

Anyone still think scrapping the NHS is a good idea? Half a million families file for bankruptcy in the USA each year due to medical bills. Relieved this story had a good ending. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Brilliant night last night with Paul Kerensa on the early years of broadcasting. I did a display of vintage radios with my mate Dave and we had suitably vintage music playing on the Ethophone iv from 1926.

Some colourized images of the centre of Forest Hill, made using AI so far from perfect, but nonetheless interesting as they show the area before the station building was demolished and replaced with the current steel 'shed'. @fhsoc.bsky.social @simonmccormack.bsky.social @kirkdalebooks.bsky.social

Morning Open 10am - 4pm Roadworks right outside may look like I’m not open but I am ! 😀🤘

My pleasure Jan. @talkingpicturestv.bsky.social

I have been informed this is run by Lewisham council. Same applies.

So black cab drivers have to do the knowledge. This lot have to be not out and out criminals and not play loud music. 🤔

Now I am not saying it does not have giant rat and racial issues. It surely does but that was a product of the budget and the time. What a great story and some great characters.

The RNLI saves lives without question because they are dedicated to that task as a humanitarian cause not because of any personal, political or financial end.

Between the showers this afternoon...

Now the holy grail for TV collectors. When they do turn up they change hands for 000's shame really. I would love to own one.

Display an album that was important to you when you were nineteen.

🚨We're reopening!!! 🚨 Next week we'll be OPEN from 10am to 4pm with special activities for youngsters. 🤩🤩 Bring your kids along and we promise to get them so wound up and excited that your drive home will be a living nightmare. sussexpast.co.uk/event/februa...

Hello! I’m Gail, a one woman business, based in #Manchester My online shop is full of bold & colourful prints, homewares, cards and t-shirts. Have a look gailmyerscough.co.uk

Little My, character in the Moomin books by Tove Jansson first appeared in 1950. She is small, determined, mischievous & fiercely independent, & based on the author herself in a kind of characteristic self-portrait #WomensArt

Sitting in bed with tea and toast listening to a brilliant Top15 on Caroline. Lovely easy selection for a Sunday morning. (Listen again will be on the website later).

One the turntable tonight. There is something wonderfully other worldly about Hinterland by @lisaknappmusic.bsky.social and Gerry Diver.

@se7potter.bsky.social I still remember the interactions we had with Rick Jones in the other place.

I went to Beckenham Place Park this morning. Some of the Triumph gang were meeting up. Never been there before. Lovely park. Poor inadequate parking, mud everywhere and over £4 per hour and phone to park. Everyone then clogs the local streets. How to ruin the experience Bromley council......

Europe and the UK should come closer together – on security, on economy or on defending our democracies. Ten years on from Brexit, our futures are as bound as ever. So, it is in our common interest to be ambitious about our partnership.

We have had lots of calls of concern today following the big landslide at Stonebarrow. The beach remains open but just take caution! There are hazard signs up as you walk from the car park to the beach, so please read the signs. (1/3)

Thank f£%k it is Friday....

"If enough is not raised, the future of the torc is uncertain... If this were to happen the object could effectively disappear from sight, denying future generations the opportunity to see for themselves the objects of their own past." 😔 leicestershirecollections.org.uk/behind-the-s...

One of those things that needs researching - but if it can't be bought by Leicestershire Museum Service it'll be given back to the finder and landowner, likely to be sold, possibly exported. Legally they could even melt it down... I hate doing this, but we really REALLY need to rescue this one.

Another one. This is a really important find - unique in fact. It has slight similarities to a torc from Moulsford (in Reading Museum) but apart from that it's a totally new type. 🧵 PLEASE SHARE, thank you #Archaeology #Treasure #Detecting leicestershirecollections.org.uk/behind-the-s...

Didn't we all. @janorak.bsky.social how Greenwich used to look back in the day.

I always tell @gailmyerscough.co.uk (who’s doing brilliantly at the moment) that when you’re self-employed, the main thing is not to panic during lean times. The lack of work had been going on for 6 months and it’s becoming difficult to maintain calm.

Matt is finding it really hard to get any work. AI has had a devastating impact on his writing jobs. He’s had five clients let him down this year. If you need the services of a great writer, have a look at his website www.mathew-owen.co.uk

The chartist leader Samuel Holberry, 'who at the early age of 27 died in York Castle, after suffering an imprisonment of 2 years and 3 months, June 21st 1842, for advocating what to him appeared to be the true interest of the people of England'. His headstone in Sheffield General Cemetery.

My neighbours have builders in. They have been extremely noisy and untidy. If I needed any more proof they do not give a flying about the neighbours here it is...

It's a very Happy Birthday to Peter Purves. One of our childhood icons...

@janorak.bsky.social you will enjoy this 🤠

After yesterday's wonderful Shenanigans at the indoor folk festival. The two Magpie Arc albums are on repeat in the Roberts household. @findlaynapier.bsky.social @nancyannfolk.bsky.social

#OnThisDay 70 years ago the iconic AEC Routemaster bus entered public service

Yesterday's fun was the Indoor Folk Festival at Cecil Sharp House. Was an amazing day. Superb musicianship throughout. @lisaknappmusic.bsky.social and Gerry Diver pushed the boundaries of what is musically possible and Magpie Arc with amazing heavy folk rock closed the show.

I was today years old when I discovered a pick up truck based on the Vauxhall Chevette called (and I kid you not) the Grumett was producex for many years in Uruguay...

@lisaknappmusic.bsky.social as I just said. That was bl@@dy spectacular! Much love.

Charles Dickens was born on this 1812 in Portsmouth. He was often in Manchester, where his sister Fanny lived in Ardwick. The Cheeryble brothers in Nicholas Nickleby are reputedly based on William and Daniel Grant, calico printers and cotton spinners.

The Royal Mail delivery man often asks me whether my parcels are parts for the Triumph. I told him todays was a another vintage radio and his eyes lit up and he came in for a minute to look at a few of the radios.
