Nice to be here with all of the lovely historians and especially the very cool @charlielynch.bsky.social. Lovely to see everyone again on here and see what you're all up to. Might even post a big more on here!

Here's my view of The Selecter at Paisley Town Hall on Friday night.

Near my mum's house! We were there last weekend. Like to imagine myself walking in the steps of the weavers, poets and generations of mill workers out for some fresh air on their day off. Great views over the town too.

We got at least one sunny day at the beach before the kids went back to school.
