Popped to the outdoor clothing shop opposite and got some fingerless gloves so I can type at work!

On a manky morning, Seymour is my spirit animal. #btposse #terriertuesday

He’s thinking ‘if I jump, will I pull her in as well?’ #btposse

Tempted to get this coat for Seymour! #btposse

Showing my age when watching a zoo clip about armadillos with kiddo as I blurt out ‘they’re also smooth on the inside, crunchy on the outside’

A selection of the multi function wicker baskets we’ve just got in. #wicker #reuse

We’re getting ready for spring with lots of garden tools ready for Ken to spritz up! #oldtools

Bit late for #terriertuesday but do love a dusky walk. #btposse #cockermouth

Seymour’s had his photo shoot. Here’s some of the pics I took of him. #btposse

Fantastic workshop with Patrick Murphy at Worsbrough Mill @barnsleymuseums.bsky.social I learned such a lot about Worsbrough: the tram! The cricket bat factory! The gunpowder factory! All history is local, as they say.

After yesterdays museum zoomies vid, we’ve been contacted about Seymour doing a photoshoot. He’s ready for his close up! #btposse

A room with a view - EM Forster #AlphabetChallenge #WeekBforBooks Hattie and Alfie looking out of the window at the appropriately named Lister Arms Hotel in Malham, Yorkshire #dogs #BorderTerrier

The tools are also Seymour approved! #oldtools #cockermouth

Our museum is dog friendly and Seymour approved! #dogfriendly #cockermouth #btposse

Seymour’s current plan to get treats. Part a. Steal something that isn’t his Part b. Make sure I know he’s got it then hide. Part c. Only be tempted out when there’s a treat and swap thing he shouldn’t have for it. Part d. Repeat #terriertuesday #btposse

Hello to all our new followers! There seems to be quiet a few of you! 😮 We're a small, independent Museum which celebrates the history of Royston, North Herts. We talk about biscuits and cheese far too much, are currently reorganising all our displays, and occassionaly post something interesting.

Good morning to all our new followers! (Thank you so much @themerl.bsky.social) Is there much snow where you are? It was very short lived here in Barnsley unlike in 1933 - Before you ask, no that isn't us using photoshop, someone decided to go to the market in Penistone while it was snowing ❄️

We have wanted to post this for ages but we thought we'd never get to 13,000 friends but look at that - we have! The Hall when it was built between 1357 and 1361 was built like a giant flat pack - every piece of wood was numbered for ease of assembly. This particular section is 'IIIX' - 13. 😍

Hope everyone’s had a lovely new year! Just back from a crisp walk with Seymour who’s more than happy to get a cold bum in return for a treat! #btposse

‘Are all these mine?’ #btposse #terriertuesday #festivespirit

all Mariah Carey wants for Christmas is you but what if you're too busy to visit Mariah Carey (?!) - get her a spice rack instead 🎄tomorrow, Friday 19th, is last order date to arrive in time for Christmas (UK only)🎄 customsawdustco.etsy.com

Seymour in a-hole mode and dragged me round the park!

Seymour was shattered after his most recent stint with the dog walker. Too tired for dogbed! #btposse #terriertuesday

Been a stocking filler day today!

Somehow the sender address makes it even worse! Luckily we found a decent box for this customer order!

It’s a dull day but we’re brightening it up as a box of old brass full of weird and wonderful stuff has just arrived!

#BTPosse #NotTerrierTuesday What fresh hell is this?

Debbie’s done another great job with the Xmas windows this year! #christmaswindows #christmas

In 2009 Cockermouth was badly flooded. This was how the shop was left on 20th Nov 2009. 😬 We lost almost all our stock and is one of the reasons why we diversified to selling old tools.

Mystery item here that even Ken had to google. Can anyone get the correct answer? #oldtools #mysteryitem

We’ve been getting ready for Xmas with some cute stocking fillers. First up these paper weights made by a firm down in Yorkshire.

What's the point of temptation if you dont occasionally give in to it - BE NOSEY! BROWSE! #moonsbookshop #booksky #bookshopsofcumbria #bibliophile #whitehaven

This week we’ve been busy doing our yearly stocktake. Yes, we do count everything in the drawers and boxes and we smashed it by finishing it in two days!

It's dry in the bookshop! #bookshopsofcumbria #antiquarianbookshop #booksky #moonsbookshop

Rivers are rather high in #cockermouth today.

Got some new walking boots yesterday so tested them out round Wythop with Seymour and mini-boss.

A gorgeous dusk here in Cockermouth.

A rare date night with husband at the Smugglers Cove in #maryport. Cheese and cocktails!
