At @edfringe ? Check out @cepacia2 - a powerful, informative, touching, and in places very funny show about young people and cystic fibrosis. A supremely talented cast, fab staging and tech, and great writing make it a must see https://t.co/vzWjcc6JV3

The deeply moving memorial to Alice Nutter, one of the ten Pendle witches hanged in 1612, at Roughlee in Lancashire. Designed and crafted by local artist David Palmer, it was unveiled in 2012 on the 400th anniversary of her death. #FolkloreThursday

Tsutomi Yamaguchi had just arrived in Hiroshima when the atomic bomb was dropped. After being injured, he travelled to his hometown of Nagasaki and survived another atomic bomb attack there. He is one of 160 people who survived both Hiroshima and Nagasaki #FactOfTheDay

Today my Lower Sixth said goodbye. They contacted Christopher Tyerman and Peter Frankopan. Amazing initiative and thoughtfulness. And then there was cake. @Dunelmia
