Many of you will know that when I say things like ‘I am about to pull off the greatest work-based escapade of my life’, then I am not joking. Folks. This week, with a fair wind and following seas, I will absolutely pull off the greatest work-based escapade of my life.

Or - and hear me out here - you could say 'it's just a meeting, don't worry, go and spend time with your kids. We'll only be sat around a board table for two hours discussing best practice'

Had a LOVELY old time recording an @artatyork.bsky.social podcast episode with the fabulous @helenacoxcurator.bsky.social and the almost as fabulous @gbrannanarchive.bsky.social today. We really got into art and authenticity and AI slop and social media and me not being able to draw 😀

Just wanted to post a few images of this cos it blew my tiny mind So, here we have the target maps for both #Manchester and #York. Red are strategic targets; purple other industrial targets. It’s no wonder Old Trafford got bombed when you look at it this way.

The Hall in need of a glow up in the 1960s. Looking a little rough around the edges, the Hall was photographed from the demolition site of an adjacent building. This view has now been lost.

We've checked the rules and there's nothing against a doorway for #adoorablethursday. Here is the original medieval entranceway to the Undercroft - the space which was once an almshouse. All that is left of the door are the brackets.

You might have to be handy with a needle and thread in medieval England for more than just your clothing. These three pieces of 14th century parchment were neatly stitched together to form a long roll and we're fortunate that the stitches have survived in such good condition to the present day!
