#Museum30 Day21 After dark. So many exciting events in #surreymuseums for the 2017 https://t.co/L96W4RKe6O
Can't wait to see what 2018 will bring. 😱😨😲🤗😋😀

#Museum30 Day20 Botany @Painshill is fantastic, as is the rest of this stunning landscape from 18th-century visionary, the Honourable Charles Hamilton. #surreymuseums

#Museum30 Day19 Museum souvenir. I always try to buy something whenever I visit, even if it's a postcard. Godalming Museum for last minute annual Christmas card purchase? #surreymuseums #supportmuseumsector

#Museum30 Day18 Favourite book. Should probably be something lifelong like Winnie-the-Pooh, but I'm feeling more other end of spectrum today SO, I always come back to @cbrookmyre - Gritty, grisly political & very funny. This is definitely a favourite.

#Museum30 Day17 Collection. Well, this is a selection from Surrey's amazing collections. It doesn't even begin to scratch the surface but an interesting introduction. https://t.co/bVUyh5hXIs #surreymuseums

#Museum30 Day16 Friendship.
In my 10 years as MEO I've found many friends in our quirky bunch at Surrey Museums Partnership & its wider circles. This has become so much more than a 'job'. 😆👍💖 #surreymuseums

[Haidee Thomas @MEO_Surrey]

#Museum30 Day15 Piece of art. I'm really fond of these interpretations of familiar Surrey places by local artist @artistsusiewest (always near)#surreymuseums

[Haidee Thomas @MEO_Surrey]

I know we're at the end of the fabulous #Museum30 but I still have some to post! And I will!

[Haidee Thomas @MEO_Surrey]

Also very touched by my home-made Christmas treat as a 'thank you' @thetoymuseum. Very kind indeed. (& now very 'gone'. 😋) xx

[Haidee Thomas @MEO_Surrey]

Super morning with staff @thetoymuseum Brighton discussing 'what next' for schools programme. Magical model & toy collection. Children's dream! 💖this https://t.co/m3JqyX8Rgj belonged to founder & his father before him. #connect #learn #volunteer @muse5aday

#Museum30 Day14 Driving around Surrey to visit our museums & galleries means my journey(s) to work vary, but are always pretty. However, if I'm at HQ in Woking, sometimes HAVE to stop at Newlands Corner on my way just to take in this view.

#Museum30 Day13 Pattern. Had to pick 2! Beautiful patterns in the brickwork and wood of the Watts Chapel doors - in fact the whole chapel has stunning patterns outside and in... @WattsGallery https://t.co/Y8hlah2zgY #surreymuseums

#Museum30 Day11 Sums up my job? It's like finding just the right patch of snow to roll around in! 😁 Satisfying. And feeling compelled to throw yourself in to it with all that you are!

[Haidee Thomas @MEO_Surrey]

#Museum30 Day13 Pattern. I really love the intricate patterns in the 56 embroideries of the Shamiana Panel @TheLightbox https://t.co/TcbkvCB3ez #surreymuseums

[Haidee Thomas @MEO_Surrey]

#Museum30 Day12 Mammal. Well, it's got to be you @Arthur_the_bear hasn't it! Haslemere Museum's ferrrocious mascot. #surreymuseums

[Haidee Thomas @MEO_Surrey]

#Museum30 Day10 Favourites...to something as 'recent' as this exquisite 1980s taffeta gown @ChertseyMuseum

[Haidee Thomas @MEO_Surrey]

#Museum30 Day10 Favourites. I love that I can see & feel something created by somebody THOUSANDS of years ago like this stunning Paleolithic flint axe at #Godalming #Museum

Wow where did those 2 weeks go? Time to play #Museum30 catch up!!

[Haidee Thomas @MEO_Surrey]

@Prehistoricbabe @bethanyrex And I wasn't being glib about your situation, or the fact that the picture has been rubbish for many people, I merely want to shed a positive light on what tends to always feel very negative. Just so you know that! 😊😊
