Rain clouds cleared & @salisburycathedral.bsky.social bathed in late afternoon #autumn sunshine. #stormhour #autumncolours

Wiltshire #bigsky at its best on my drive home with #moonrise over Roundway Down & #sunset over Bromham. Beautiful. #Wiltshire #fullmoon

Most enjoyable day prepping & then working with these enthusiastic young people at the start of their #media course at Wiltshire College. #mediastudies #heritageeducation

A much needed day off. A spot of #mindful wandering around my happy space - the Cathedral Close @salisburycathedral.bsky.social Popped into @salisburymuseum.bsky.social for another look at the #ElizabethFrink exhibition. Still time to catch the last few days. #wellbeing #salisbury

Parking attendant today at my third talk of the week, this one at Dauntsey under the glorious Doom there. Previous talks in Malmesbury for the museum on the Reformation and then on Last Judgement Art. Similar talk planned in November for Sarum Chronicle annual lecture. We’re DOOMED!

As well as great #archives on display, we have our pop-up Heritage Café plus experts galore to chat about archives, #househistory, #familyhistory, #archaeology & conservation. Join us tomorrow 20th from 10am. #exploreyourarchive

Definitely worth a visit across Salisbury Plain to check out the treasures at this year's #HeritageOpenDay @heritagewshc.bsky.social

A courteous but very impressive rebuke to Nigel Farage from the Bishop of Oxford. "I heard no compassion in what you said...". "I disagree profoundly with your attempts to ... increase fear of the stranger in our communities". Do read. blogs.oxford.anglican.org/an-open-lett...

A lovely looking sky earlier this evening (Tuesday), but wispy #cirrus #clouds a sure sign rain is on its way. How much rain is another matter. #stormhour #cloudscape #summer #weather

Don't be alarmed dear reader @telegraphnews.bsky.social but pro-pedstrian Wilts Council was Tory-led when it received a Tory Govt grant for the Fisherton Gateway improvement scheme. P.S @salisburyjournal.bsky.social stop with the "killer kerb". I know it's the silly season, but please... #Salisbury

Love the print. And the idea of a wine market. Definitely think we need more appreciation of all things #casks #barrels #coopers #coopering #barrel #cask #tradeguilds #cityliveries #heritage #heritagecrafts

Read my latest blog for @heritagewshc.bsky.social I'm so privileged to work at the History Centre & to be a #volunteer guide @salisburycathedral.bsky.social so I can share my enthusiasm for #medieval #history #magnacarta

AI will never locate a new archive. It will never uncover a new source. It will never find a small, privately held collection of papers that can upend what we think we know about the past. It can never work with undigitized sources. It can never do real oral history or ethnography.

Great 'in conversation' event with @alanlester.bsky.social & @sathnam.bsky.social @salisburycathedral.bsky.social Every day a learning day & so relevant to my day job with #archives & as a #volunteer guide at the Cathedral.

Go England. What a result. Amazing team effort. And congrats to Michelle Agyemang on being named Young Player of the tournament. #lionesses #kcl #reggie #kingscollegelondon

Running a few errands in town but had time to pop into @salisburymuseum.bsky.social to see the Frink #exhibition (for the third time). Lovely to just sit, look & contemplate. #elizabethfrink @wessexmuseums.bsky.social

Fierce blaze at Highpost Farm late this afternoon sending up a thick pall of black smoke. Hope everyone's ok. #fire #Salisbury @salisburyjournal.bsky.social

Beautiful #gardencolour as the sun peaked out from behind the early morning cloud today - a peachy coloured #rose, red #peonies & yellow #poppies. #gardenflowers

#OTD 1945 it looks like dad was denied #VEDay leave! In Egypt with #REME (Royal Electrical Mechanical Engineers) - either he'd upset someone or as a senior NCO was made responsible for ensuring junior ranks behaved themselves... (He would have hated that!)

My parents were in their teens & early 20s during the war. Both served & were from military families. This resonates with the sentiments they voiced when I spoke to them about the end of the war. #VEDay80 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Always enjoy sharing stories from the #archives with BBC Wiltshire's @yourbenpraters.bsky.social who is always so enthusiastic about all things #history. #VEDay80 #localhistorymonth #localstudies #exploreyourarchive

The yellow #peonies seemed rather short-lived this year. Seed heads are all the remain. My red #peony is now showing itself (alongside the Welsh poppies) with a couple of other buds yet to open. #gardencolour #yellowpeonies #redpeonies

A glorious May day with cathedral & trees looking splendid in the spring sunshine. @salisburycathedral.bsky.social #treeoftheday #treesoftheday #salisbury

Trees of the day - Cedar trees in the Cloister Garth @salisburycathedral.bsky.social Planted to celebrate the accession of Queen Victoria in 1837. #treeoftheday

What, a wire hair #dachsie...?! Had to pause & rewind @channel4news.bsky.social report from Rome just to be sure. This lovely #dachsund apparently part of the city's civil protection team. Go #dachshunds.

And please remind #historyteachers that their local #archive collections can support their lessons. For example see @heritagewshc.bsky.social website wshc.org.uk/our-services... #history #archives #localhistory

Not sure the #peonies count for #wildflowerhour but they have been in this garden for 50yrs. Cranesbill geraniums are taking over. Welsh poppies about to burst forth. Plus daisies & dandelions. I like a wild garden! (That's my excuse & I'm sticking to it.😆)

#OldSarum earlier this evening. #WW1 #lostheritage #history #aviationhistory

Massive fire at #OldSarum has gutted a #WW1 hangar & looked to be spreading to airfield cafe. Firefighters had to go to Lysander Rd & The Portway to connect to hydrants. Go Skydive staff managed to rescue some of their kit. BDAC #museum appears ok.🤞 #listedbuilding #lostheritage #history

Listed #WW1 hangars at #OldSarum being destroyed by massive #fire #heritage gone. @salisburyjournal.bsky.social
