#gravedigging in Dumfries: St Michael’s kirkyard has long been on my list. Quite wonderful array of tombs did not disappoint: could spend days there!
Any thoughts on this signature on a watercolour of Low Calton (Edinburgh) from 1845? H.G.Duguid perhaps? Right kind of date and subject matter, but not sure it’s his style? watercolourworld.org/collect…

#IronworkThursday ? Actually not Thursday and not ironwork #ChocolateworkFriday at the wonderful Natale in Lecce, Puglia.
#IronworkThursday 17th-century door furniture, Terralba, Sardinia. The lock plate doesn’t fit the hole in the wood, which makes me suspicious about its authenticity in this location, but nevertheless ironwork of great beauty.

Thank you Mark Girouard for such wonderful writings. Such range! I asked him 2017 which book he was most proud of beside a shelf with all of them there @YaleBooks and he pulled out this one. He hoped it could be reprinted… an immortal scholar of rare & enduring sort.

We've been doing a bit of research on the Gallery of Modern Art recently, we've learned a lot but we've still got a couple of questions that the twittersphere might be able to help with. Here's what we know... @johngilbertarch @Heritage_Meisie
