Had a retired engineer donate some of his items to the museum today. He kindly labelled the more obscure tools! #oldtools #museum

Seymour had great fun running around the new dog park at our local West Cumberland Farmers! #btposse

#onthisday, 5 Sept 1884, #Whitehaven #TurkishBaths opened—the 1st in the world to be lit by electricity using Swan's Incandescent Lamps as in Armstrong's nearby #Cragside. 3 hot rooms, salt water plunge, needle douche, shampooing & cooling-room. www.victorianturkishbath.org/_6DIRECTORY/... 🗃️ #C19th

We don't know why, but we can't help thinking this bird is on its way to a nightclub. We also think it might have taken something. 😬 #MosaicMonday

We went to Maryport’s Senhouse Roman museum today and spotted a picture of one of Seymour’s ancestors! #btposse #maryport

Here’s a wonderful selection of artwork from two lovely local ladies, Jill Davies and Magda Brugier who have been sketching items in our museum. This is a small sample of their art. #cockermouth

Their relationship is slightly one sided! #terriertuesday #btposse

Sometimes #oldtools are like buses. We’ve had no compass planes in for about a year and suddenly I’ve got two! #jbbanks #vintage

He’s more hair than dog so booked Seymour into the groomers! #btposse

Kiddo is back at school so doing admin in a silence with only coffee for company.

It is time to announce the semifinalists for the Small Spec Book Awards. Thank you to our readers, who worked diligently to assign ratings to all books. The competition was close. Authors, we hope you are proud of your stories because we are. Thank you for sharing them with us.

Can anyone help @arch-mais.bsky.social find what they're after? 🚙 #TerrierTuesday #Travel #Dogs #DogsOfBlueSky #TravelTuesday #BTposse

Seymour hates going in the car! #terriertuesday question for #btposse, we’re getting a new car soon, what’s the best dog car seat to avoid all the hair? Going to try and keep this car clean!

The flapometers were working overtime earlier! #btposse

Desperately trying to make sure everything is ready for the Midnight Market next Saturday whilst also still adding pieces to my new #Etsyshop. Check out my #Etsy and maybe give me a cheeky follow at www.etsy.com/uk/shop/Jewe... #UKGiftHour #UKGiftAM #SmartSocial #ShopIndie #MHHSBD #BSNM #ArtYear

My husband just sent me this photo. Fighting words! #stalybridge

Tried explaining the battle of Hastings to kiddo. They went ‘oh yeah, I know them. Wallace created them.’ No…Normans not Norbots!

Word of the Day is ‘theic’ (19th century), defined as ‘one given to immoderate tea-drinking; a tea drunkard’.

And the bell girls are now blinged up! #brass #antiques

At work today so my aunt has taken mini-boss out for a walk. Can anyone guess where? #lakedistrict

Checking out some local heritage today.

Want to help save a mosaic? (Not Roman but we won't hold it against them). Now's your chance. There are 3 ways: 1. Share. 2. Donate. 3. Share and donate. Go on. You know you want to.

We're 300 followers away from 70,000. 300 more would be really nice. But you know what would be even better? 300 plus 30,000. Bluesky: help a museum out

And thanks to @lyndah612.bsky.social we’re up to 666 followers!

Proof that our sofa was brown before Seymour turned it into his personal space! #btposse #terriertuesday

Deb’s going to have fun gussying these ladies up! #brass #bells

The day is bright and so are our windows! #oldshop #vintage

Starting one of the hottest days of the year with a good coffee!

The finished product of the drawers we got in last week. Ken even found a key for the front! #antiques #oldtools

Just noticed that we're less than ten followers till we get to 666. Not sure if that's something to be worried about!

Had a fabulous day at Maryport’s Taste of the Sea. Best year yet! #maryport

Trip to Lingholm Garden today and got to visit Mr McGregor’s garden! #lakedistrict

Here’s the answer to the #mysteryitem. It’s a railway point deicer!

These drawers came in today full of engineering tools. Ken’s having fun cleaning them up! #oldtools

See if anyone can guess what this is, over a million sold! #mysteryitem #museum

Seymour went a bit too far with #beinghuman #btposse #terriertuesday

A big thank you to Hannah for these glowing comments! 🤩

Seymour braved #stormfloris and lived to tell the tale! #btposse

They were some Itsy bitsy teenie weenie compact copper cooking vessels!

Deb’s job today, polish up the Golden Fleece. We’ll be on the lookout for any Argonauts!

Happy #NationalFriendshipDay to all our Bluesky buddies! 😘Including... @amberleymuseum.bsky.social @romanpalace.bsky.social @merchantshallyork.org @longshop.bsky.social @athelstanmuseum.bsky.social @barnsleymuseums.bsky.social @jbbanks.bsky.social @dunkirk1940museum.bsky.social 📸 from our archives

Not enough time to go in but we’ve made a pitstop at the cafe in @merchantshallyork.org. Delicious scones!

Only I go to York and get excited by brooms!

Do you have a trip to Eskdale Mill planned this summer?

I’ve been off for a week but come back to find a cluster of carving chisels all done up! #woodworking #oldtools
