Campaigners claim the National Trust needs to be ‘returned to its real mission.’ Meanwhile the Trust has again broken its records for fundraising & conservation investment. It’s an enduring national success story, thanks to millions of members, donors & volunteers.

@vickybarlo @merylE11 Thank you!

[Richard Dunn @Lordoflongitude]

@clairejowitt @NorfolkMuseums @gloucesterwreck @BenjaminRedding Highly recommended. Well done all.

[Richard Dunn @Lordoflongitude]

@latelordchatham Great find. Looking at it now as it as I'm writing about the Nautical Almanac at the moment. Love the corner note (Croker?): send a copy to the Astronomer Royal. This isn't long before the Almanac was passed to Thomas Young.

[Richard Dunn @Lordoflongitude]

@ClarkeAward Worth noting that it's available via at least one other retailer for the same price.

[Poetry School (no longer active) @poetryschool]
