Coleton Fishacre's Easter theme has been Insect Superheros. In the house we've been highlighting the villains which attack our collection. I thought some people might get a giggle out of our fab caricatures.

The private company Restore Trust is now circulating a fundraising email asking for 'donations' & claiming that only 15,887 National Trust members voted against their Quick Vote resolution this year. This is not true. *69,715 members voted against it and it was defeated.* Pls RT

@susie_dent We still use it, but I've never found anyone else who uses it or knows what it means/where it comes from

[Rachel Stammers @RachelStammers1]

@susie_dent My granny's family use 'pally ann' and we have never been sure where it comes from (the family were in Yorkshire, there's a theory it's from misheard French). It's hard to define exactly what it's used for, but if someone is being contrary they often get "well pally ann then".

@LizGibbons15 Unfortunate juxtaposition (or maybe the twitter algorithm has a sense of humour?)

Do you watch 'Time Team', 'Digging for Britain' or 'The Great British Dig'?

Been to historic sites or are @nationaltrust or @EnglishHeritage member?

The arch you see starts in fabulous depts like Worcester working hard to tell the stories of the past.
