Tony Nero's exhibition 'Half a Pencil' is currently on at Peterborough Museum and Art Gallery, UK. Great to see this wonderful collection of work ✏️ 🎨 🙂

I enjoyed Peterborough Cathedral's Christmas Craft and Gift Market today - lots of stalls and seasonal decorations. It's on tomorrow and Sunday too (see link in my comment below) 🌲🙂

Painting by Peter Brook (1927-2009 born in West Yorkshire) 'Lucky Black Cat and a Well Trained Dog' (Cook House Gallery)

Golden Syrup Tart (Baby Belling recipe) with custard - a treat for November 5th 🙂

According to George Orwell (in the 'Lion and the Unicorn' 1941) with all it's faults, England is 'a living contradiction' of fascism which is why all fascists seek to destroy its power (illustration by L. Leslie Brooke 1863-1940)

Yes - the sturgeon moon is very bright over Peterborough UK - but, doesn't photograph well on my mobile.

Not forgetting the multicultural joys on offer in the UK (painting by Lynette Yiadom-Boakye - Arts Council Collection South Bank)

Or indeed any of our wonderful historical and cultural UK assets in our cities, towns and villages. Or the beauty that is Wensleydale 🙂

Yesterday I went to the Almeida Theatre in Islington to see a new play by Ava Pickett called '1536' (director: Lyndsey Turner). It was electrifying to watch as a brilliant script and great acting came together. Siena Kelly as Anna brought an extraordinary vitality to her role 👏 🎭

'Adventures in Time and Space' at Peterborough Museum and Art Gallery (UK) - great fun for Dr Who fans!

'The Bronte Sisters' by Basil Taylor (d. 1935)

Fantastic day out yesterday at Dulwich Picture Gallery to see the Tirzah Garwood: Beyond Ravilious exhibition 🖼 🙂 @dulwichgallery.bsky.social

Lovely Festival of Lessons and Carols this evening at St John's in Peterborough city centre with a reflection by The Rt Rev'd Debbie Sellin, Bishop of Peterborough 🎶🎵 🙏

Enjoyed the film 'Wicked'at Peterborough's new Odeon - volume was up way too loud though! Disappointed there weren't lots of choice of flavours of ice cream - no raspberry ripple, banana, coffee, mint choc for me!🍧 Still staff were helpful and good to have a city centre cinema I can easily access 🙂

'Ruffles' by Lorna Johnson in the Orangery at Knole in Kent - a celebration of strong women in herstory who have ruffled feathers (including Vita Sackville-West) ✒️ 🙂
