@UEA_History @CanadianRichard Richard was so many good qualities rolled together in one person. He cared deeply for our students, and as a colleague I admired him and trusted him in everything. We'll always hold him in our fondest love and memory. Tom.

@JamesKneale Yes - but we're strong believers in the argument for making a full documentary just about us! Digging up Victorian rubbish is great for history buffs, mindfulness, and a memory of more innocent throwaways, as you say.

[Victoria's Dustbin @VicsDustbin]

That's a whole different documentary!
