Two years after I wrote an object analysis on him, while studying at home at the height of Covid, I finally come face to face with Bacchus at NT Angelsey Abbey - though not where I expected him to be! @Amanda_Vickery

@ChelsfieldStMar @revsusan5 @SMASCH1 I have a horrible feeling this means it's the churchwardens' turn next year 😆

[Philippa Rooke @Flipringer]

At Orpington @ODEONCinemas watching #ROHcinderella - absolutely fantastic performances & so lovely to hear the wonderful score magnificently played

Hive mind time - can anyone give me references in literature to servants going home to see their mother on Mothering Sunday? Thank you!

2 years after completing my History degree I finally see a picture by Courbet at the @AshmoleanMuseum instead of on screen and it brings it all back! Thank you @asciampacone for all you did for us in those tough times

[Philippa Rooke @Flipringer]

@virginiaqmw Very good plan! We did train both ways to Marseilles as a trial run for Sicily. I'm currently in Oxford, train here & back. Finally seen the Pitt Rivers Museum!

[Philippa Rooke @Flipringer]

@virginiaqmw We went all the way by train, including staying in the carriage on the ferry! It was a bit of a haul but worth it for the views of the Amalfi coast. We did fly back though...
