Bought my first book from the UKs first book vending machine yesterday! It’s at Exeter St David’s train station - apparently that’s where the founder of Penguin books decided to set up the brand, after arriving at the station and finding nothing to read. So cool 📚📙📘📖.

We have granted a licence to the Saving Wildcats partnership to release wildcats in the Cairngorms National Park later this year. This marks the first-ever conservation translocation of wildcats in Britain. ow.ly/GpA450Nr6UO

This is great viewing - the peregrine falcon webcam is super close up!
Grab some popcorn and settle in to watch our wildlife webcams! We've got badgers, owls, bats and more! Be warned - it's addictive viewing... 📹😊

Really enjoyed this online talk on Wednesday night. Didn't realise the dissolution happened so rapidly in Devon - 15 monasteries closed in 23 days!
Thank you @James_G_Clark for such an engaging talk on Wednesday evening. It's a fascinating subject and if anyone would like to explore it further, we can highly recommend James' book 'The Dissolution of the Monasteries - A New History' 😀
Had a lot of fun this morning working with @BurntheCurtain at a history inspired Xmas card animation workshop at St Katherine’s Priory, #Exeter. Such a vibrant community space and brilliant cafe.

A Roman Soldier & Medieval Monks! Here's what we got up to for #HeritageOpenDays this year: heritageartspeople.uk/herita… @BlackdownsAONB @visitexeter
Such a fun event - seeing where the Roman military fortress lay in Exeter really brought the past to life!
We had a great time on our Roman Military tour of Exeter with Dr John Salvatore for @heritageopenday. We even had a surprise Roman guest show up!
@visitexeter
Great to visit @powderhamcastle yesterday as part of #heritageopendays. Amazing castle and very cute animals in the secret garden!
