Serendipitous visit to St Saviours Highbury which has just been sold. Organ is up for grabs apparently. My grandad worked for an organ maker so I feel a bit sorry it’s going but hope the new owner will open again for #openhouselondon

@CBroom1 I think he’s in Pere Lachaise. I spotted Simone de Beauvoir, Jean Paul Satre and Jacques Chirac!

Never one to let a trip to the Paris Olympics get in the way of a visit to a good cemetery. #CimetiereDeMontparnasse

Trip round Bradford and surrounds walking in the footsteps of my Stakes ancestors and treading on some of them in cemeteries too. #AncestralTourism

Useful morning at Bruce Castle Archives in Tottenham. Beautiful setting.

@karendebruyne That’s a great bucket list item. 🪣

Lovely trip to @MuseumoftheHome with @SocGenealogists this morning. Tour of the almshouses and archive then a wander round their beautiful garden.

Spring is in the air at @SocGenealogists today. A pair each of coots, swans and mallards and some nest building.

@karendebruyne Bloomin’ freezing!

[Rachel Stakes Genealogy @StakesRachel]

@RuthWillmore Oh no. Hope it’s too bad and take care.

Happy opening day @SocGenealogists!

Privileged to be on the last public tour of @UKParlArchives at Victoria Tower with @SocGenealogists. Incomparable history and went to watch a debate in the House of Commons afterwards.

@emmajolly @SocGenealogists “Tea talk” - right up my street. I’ll be there cuppa in hand.

Following in the footsteps of my ancestors in Durham and appreciating the heraldry. Wonder if I should pack my Papworths next time?

[Rachel Stakes Genealogy @StakesRachel]

Excellent tour of @UKSupremeCourt with @SocGenealogists. Fascinating and we got to sit where the justices sit. Power trip!
