@LizzieSwarbrick That’s a very kind offer Lizzie. I have been wondering how to rescue it - the paper is not great quality and deteriorating. I’d be delighted if you were able to work some digital magic on it (and I’ll try to look after the original better too!). Many thanks.

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? https://t.co/DQnq8KTWEG

#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.

@Paul_C_Mercer Kept me gripped to the end! PLUS another excellent free chapter, A Very Small Pond! Please do finish writing the book, Paul - I’m intrigued to see how it all fits together. #DescentOfChloeJackson

[Nick Haynes @ConserveScot]

@Paul_C_Mercer Eek, it’s not Teddy returning the letters! That doesn’t sound good. Who is sending them? Why one by one? Why now? I’m on tenterhooks! #DescentOfChloeJackson https://t.co/kXucIp4b8M
