Happy St John's day

Once more onwards to the 'big smoke' this time to assist in the workings of the Aetos Lodge...a lodge for Derbyshire Brethren

Yesterday, spent a Great day at the Union Jack Club. Attending a military Mark and RAM lodge. The banter went late into the night

It's Christmas Eve and, in our final HutVent of 2024, Taff talks Truce (of course!) and our part in a remarkable piece of Christmas Truce popular culture...

Looking forward to our exhibition and talks at the www.greatwarhuts.org/events

Taff and I are talking the Christmas Truce and Princess Mary’s gift - with some very special objects on display: 7-8 December 2024. Not to be missed!

The world hide and seek competition was held in Dolgellau today, Wales were eliminated in the first round.

Annoying when you find photos and you can't identify. These two sent to me many years ago by a (now deceased) friend in Australia. Poss part of an early mines rescue/fire service, anyone able to say who, where, UK/Aus etc.

A little bit of recent history from RMA Sandhurst turning up in local antique shoppe

That's my late night film sorted 🍺

Picked up this dainty glass from a local antiques emporium

I absolutely love this stunning 1859 photograph of Dickensian London, dominated by the grandeur of St. Paul's Cathedral, taken by pioneering photographer John Leighton. It’s a time still of the old wharves and docks and warehouses which came this far up the river. Mesmerising details.
