’Tis the season for a biscuit set inspired by Victorian scrapbooking. 🍪 These festive scraps come from two scrapbooks in the @Powerhouse Collection, both thought to have been compiled by children between 1880 and 1890.

Last evening meeting ahead of my last day at Broxtowe tomorrow. My eight years have been a wild ride and I will miss so many amazing people. Bittersweet. Photo of my wonderful Mayors - I will miss them all.

Only I could attend my PhD graduation and get talking to a lovely, elderly gentleman at the train station who ended up being an anti-Stratfordian. He proceeded to tell me how wrong I was to believe ‘the Stratford man’ wrote the plays 🫠. Anyway, graduation was wonderful!

Little things that make my Monday morning. Sunshine on the walk to work and the most glorious smelling nectarine.

Best thing I ever planted in my front garden - raspberries and blackcurrants. The kids love a cheeky fruit snack on the way in and out the house.

Ah, parenting. Hearing your own phrases repeated. Three year old has just warned the five year old “don’t you even think about it” and they both giggled.
