So a very interesting journey that I’ll try to verify and fill in the gaps for. Perhaps people on BlueSky might care to help me? Meanwhile here is a near twin of my picture I found in an art website. Enjoy.

So come join with me in a journey of discovery regarding a painting I inherited from my grandparents. It’s of little financial value but great interest.

Terrific day yesterday at Lords Cricket Ground, watching the disabled young people’s table cricket finals, with my @ioe.bsky.social colleague Wilton Lodge. Every young person should try playing this intriguing sport. Wonderful atmosphere. Thanks to @lordstaverners.bsky.social for the invitation.

Some of you may recall that a few months ago my neighbour found this mystery object on the local allotments. We have since identified it as a tally stick. But does anyone know how we might be able to establish its age?
