I just listened to the latest episode of @kermodeandmayo.bsky.social 's Take. @kermodemovie.bsky.social and @simonmayo.bsky.social 's comments on the Orange Wotsit's Handmaiden and her movie made me cheer. I will not name it - nor pay to see it, for the same reasons. Tinkety Tonk.

On April 18 and 19 April, I get to indulge my passion for #LivingHistory. Myself and 9 chums will be presenting our interpretation of a section of junior ratings (Killick in charge) en route to rejoining the Royal Naval Division in April 1916.

Thanks, @iancastleraids.bsky.social . We're glad to have your support, as always!

I am very happy to be taking part in the www.essexcommunityfoundation.org.uk CommuniTea event on Friday 6th February.

We'll be exploring volunteering for a #charity like www.stowmaries.org.uk . Why is it so important?

As an independent #museum, www.stowmaries.org.uk relies heavily on events income. They take a lot of planning (www.stowmaries.org.uk/events) and need to bring in wide audiences. Today - I've been focusing on one of our Air events, a #LivingHistory event and a motorbike show.

As I recover from a very nasty chest infection, I have taken the opportunity to replace the buttons on my 1902SD with #RoyalNavy ones. This is for my 1916 LS presentation. #WW1 #RND

A fascinating image (for me, anyway!). The Royal Naval Division, well known for its uniform shenanigans, does it again.
It looks like a SB party. I think it must be post-May 1916 (63rd Div patches on) - they don't have Battalion Brass yet. Curved and Straight RND titles, no colour flash.

Over a #Coffee my mind wanders to #WW1 #LivingHistory. Some new shoulder brass has arrived, but I'm struggling to find 16mm brass KC RN buttons for a 1916 Royal Naval Division impression I am delivering in April. ( I need 6 for my SD pockets and epaulettes). Any ideas?

#LivingHistory is a great way to relax. I have also enjoyed #Reenactment. While I have had plenty of time working in the 15th C, I find myself enjoying #WW1. Particularly the #RoyalNavy. 1916, Royal Naval Division,Galley Killick in April. Time to plan menus. The Galley will provide!

As I'm new to the platform, what sort of presence does #WW1 #LivingHistory or its cousin, #Reenactment have on BlueSky? Any #GreatWar #Museums on here?

Great to see my chum Frankie on here at 47:30 onwards, being very excitable and geeky. Top work and all less than an hour from me.
