Welcome to MY world! If I'm not buried within an archive somewhere, pottering among the tombstones with camera in hand or storytelling in an unquiet street in York or beyond for @politetourist.bsky.social - I will be getting messy with wood, glue and clay inside my cluttered den. Partial to cake.

Fabulous talk! Loved hearing of some of the lost folk Peter introduced to us. Thank you @clemhallhistory.bsky.social for looking after us so well. The night cap with my fellow sleuth from @yorkfhs.bsky.social afterward made for a perfect evening.

We're starting our week with some Terry's of York company records, including this programme for the Terry's Cricket Club Annual Dinner held in November 1927 at the company's St Helen's Square restaurant. No Chocolate Oranges for dessert sadly but plum pudding with rum sauce sounds delicious!

A welcome return to desk and kettle duty on behalf of @yorkfhs.bsky.social today. I'll be lost among the dead of York as I search the long forgotten buried in ink within our fabulous collection of parish registers. Pop along if you want to sleuth too? I vanish at 4pm.
