Is it just us, or do these faces carved into the wood at Townend look a little embarrassed?😳 #WorldEmojiDay @NT_TheNorth

@thisone0verhere With some specials on people who have done it historically. Have you ever heard of the farming family Brownes of Townend in the Lake District, Cumbria. The victorian George Browne inherits years of family book collecting in the family house and he makes bookcases.

@nationaltrust Yes and have used one in a spring wreath for the front door ❤️

[Chantelle Dollimore @Dollich92]

Slowly embracing having a seasonal wreath outside my front door made from flowers in my garden and wool from the farmers flock next door ❤️ 😍

Once used by Sir Winston Churchill as a hot water bottle cover, this panda found a new job with his secretaries @ChartwellNT.

Do you know what they used it for?

Really grateful to be able to pop down to @McrMuseum first reopening day for the public. Massive props to @EgyptMcr and team for the Golden Mummies of Egypt exhibition- It was fantastic to see in particular so many engaged young ones learning about Graeco-Roman Egypt.

I'm looking for examples of black goo on coffins and mummy cases (and anything else!) in regional museums, can anyone help?!

Especially small museums with less online presence

I know about Weston Park (below), lovely example

Give me more!
