Last year, at Brymbo Open Day, we heard about the sad unfathomable closure of a steelworks when everything was lost. And tonight, at SciBar, we heard about another earlier Brymbo with gigantic mosses & dragonflies. The best steel and the best fossils - & the hope of new life. TY Dr Tim Astrop!

Uncanny, wouldn’t you agree @endofthepier.bsky.social?😁

Every evening this week, we’ve been treated to a murmuration. This was Friday’s edition over Upton, Chester

Packed out hall tonight for a totally absorbing talk by Stewart Ainsworth on ‘Mapping the Past: From Ordnance Survey to Time Team’.
Stewart’s message was that archeology needn’t involve digging - which is excellent news as far as I’m concerned👍@HistArchChester

Eh, you lot! Food! Soon as you like. (@chesterzoo.bsky.social today)

Good-bye 2024. The best thing about you was the way you coloured your skies.

Brilliant, just brilliant! The most unexpected, deep and uplifting Sleeping Beauty ever! We all loved it. Congratulations @StoryhouseLive!

Allow me to present the Ushers Bakehouse pistacio, cherry and dark chocolate biscotti - in its native state and also in use. This was just good as I thought it would be.

Bumped into Mr Chester on our foodie tour around Chester Rows today. Very pleasant way to spend the afternoon. Trouble with us is we get stuck in our ways, so great to be introduced to a few alternatives. Thanks Steph! #Rowvember @chesterherifest.bsky.social
