I don’t have a fancy car with preset seat settings, so every time Hubs drives my car, I get in and immediately fall down to the floor and can’t reach the pedals.

Then spend five minutes trying to get my seat back into position by levering myself to where I can see above the dashboard.

We may regret it, but we're allowing #CuratorRob out in public. We've hosed him down and locked his cider shed, so it'll be fine, right?🙏😬

For ONE NIGHT ONLY (15 Jan, 8pm) he's giving an online talk about the recent discoveries at Palace. Huxley may feature.

You know you’ve married a gem when he takes you to London for 2 days, and the first 2 stops are secondhand bookshops where I find 10 books for my studies and he then carries them for me! Romance certainly not dead after 28 years of marriage ❤️.

I had the pleasure today of speaking at the Melton Mowbray U3A Local History Group where I presented the findings of my Masters research. Great group who were really interested and asked some excellent questions.
