Not so #tinyjoys was an afternoon spent at the Fitzwilliam museum. Art and archaeology. Heaven!

I'm writing a book about a woman who procured early teenage girls for rich men, including politicians and princes. It's a true story. It happened back in 1885 and I'm constantly surprised by how little has changed. The book tells the girls story, people with hopes and fears just like you. 1/2

Loving this bit of 19th century libel (unless it's true of course) which had me chuckling whilst checking the Commandments.

Next week I'll be sat on the beach trying to work out 10 pages written like this... This is genuinely my idea of fun.

I got a window bird feeder a month or so ago and have only been feeding particularly agile pigeons? Well, look what happened today! #tinyjoys #birdshow

In our teeny wildflower corner this giant plant grew. It was nearly as high as the hedge and I was going to prune it. I'm glad I didn't. It's now covered in the most gorgeous purple blue flowers. Who knew chicory was so beautiful! #tinyjoys

Seems to me if you leave guardianship of your daughters to your sister and 'any other child or children' to a solicitor then you've been a very naughty boy. #19thcentury

It is just lulling them into a false sense of security. (never thought this picture would come in but I knew I saved it for a reason!)

2 years ago we started a house extension (well the builders did) and I moved a rambling rose. It was really deeply rooted and I had to hack at it to get any of it out. I moved it to a big pot at the bottom of the garden. It is still not very happy but today it gave me this. Plucky fellow #tinyjoys

#tinyjoys A week or so ago a big pot was tipped over overnight in the garden. It had been windy overnight but the pot has a few bricks at the bottom so I thought it was unlikely to be that. I checked the camera that looks over the back garden and, well, can you see....?

With many thanks to @kitdewaal.bsky.social I've just spent my tea break in the back of a jeep driving to Muktinath in Nepal. Love www.window-swap.com

Today is #Nationaltripletday and however you celebrate it I'd like to set you a quiz one of my triplets designed a few years ago. Conveniently it has 3 questions.
1) where did Romans be deaded and come back to life?
2) where does a skunk do a stinky tail?
3) how do you win a running cycle race?

I've been reading about the Salvation Army in the 19th century. Jeremy Corbyn's been around a while hasn't he?
