We're going wassailing today ,wasn't quite sure what it entailed but after the mention of cider ,apples and toast for the trees I was ready to go .Here's to a good harvest next year
#wassail#WinterSolstice @tavilibrary
Halloween is approaching - some of us need less make up than others to complete that totally scary look . I've hidden Mrs R's beauty regime in the shed amongst the garden tools .Watch this space ... #Halloween2023 @tavilibrary #Dartmoor
Reputation going up in smoke again , Mrs R has put dinner on hold till I redeem myself . I'll get my own back after the belly dancing @exeterlibrary . Good luck to all the Fun Palaces throughout the country

Looking good for @Funpalaces this week . May the #Funpants fly free on Saturday . Better go down and check they're in blooming condition. No moth holes accepted ! @tavilibrary #LibrariesUnlimited#Saturdayfun
🚨 Just 1 week left until the 10th Fun Palaces Weekend of Celebration!
If you do anything this weekend, make it one of these:
1. If you're making a Fun Palace, double check it's on the map 📍
2. Find your local Fun Palace to visit 🗺️

#Autumn or #Fall has arrived and so here is: Autumn Leaves (1856) by John Everett Millais (English, lived 1829–1896). Raking and burning leaves in the twilight. The artist's sisters-in-law, Alice and Sophie Gray (left). Unsure as to the identity of the two children on the right.
Mrs R's eyes have lit up on seeing the prospect of bellydancing @ExeterLibrary @FunPalaces .Could be an exhausting weekend , we're all supposed to practise .
think I'll go to the warehouse to dust off the #funpants ready for @tavilibrary
There’s a rumour going around that the infamous #FunPants have succumbed to moth attack whilst in storage at Rhino Secure Repository,motto Carpe Vinum .Be assured that they are completely safe and intact ,ready to fly free in October.@FunPalaces @tavilibrary
The usefulness of the @tavilibrary preoverdue reminder is that sometimes you are reminded of a book you forgot you had taken out , in this case 'the Book of Senior Moments'. Those #GoldenYears are catching up #happydays#lifeslikethat
Plant sale tomorrow 10-12.00 at our favourite @tavilibrary ,Mrs R can't contain her excitement , I'm just hoping there are no Giant Redwood saplings labelled as dwarf conifers #plants#booksandmore#librarylife#Dartmoor#Tavistock
Let me be quite clear, the fact that it is #NationalSausageRollDay has had no effect on our choice of breakfast,lunch and dinner . There are always crumbs on the horizon and occasionally in the books @tavilibrary @LibrariesUnLtd after lunch
Thursday #PortraitChallenge! ✍️

The Letter (1865) by Alfred Stevens (Belgium artist, lived 1823–1906).
'A letter is in fact the only device for combining solitude and good company' - The Selected Letters of Lord Byron.
Mrs R has decided to contribute towards #Funpalace this year by demonstrating the versatility of the humble wine bottle cork . Considerable but enjoyable research required to build up stock. #Forwardplanning @tavilibrary #DartmoorDrinkies
A VERY long shot…but if anyone was on flight BA177 from Heathrow to JFK yesterday (Tues 4 April) at 1.10pm and landing at 3.30pm and found this little fella, there’s a distraught little boy who would love to be reunited with him. Get in touch if you can help. Thanks
Just wanted Dorian and Rene to know that the cactus is still flying the flag for them in Taurito #plantlife#howtoreadaplant . Pen and paper might have been better #librarylife
