@John_Dabell Thinking of you.

@goodupnorth @Liz_ORiordan @BreastCancerNow @lorraine @loosewomen Don’t make it your last. 1/3 of breast cancers are in women of 70+ I was told. My ‘extra’ mammo that I requested (I’m over 70) showed up an agressive tumour which was treatable.

@_F_B_G_ Well, well. I didn't know Lord Liverpool's connection to Charlbury - thanks.

@villagerbuses We wish all our passengers a very happy Christmas and a peaceful new year. And just a gentle reminder that we won't be running services on Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Years Day.

Since we re-opened, we've had wonderfully sunny weekends to share our new exhibition. Open every Sat & Sun afternoons until end September. OX7 6NA. https://t.co/iTeBF0Qhu0

[churchill heritage @Churchillherit]

All ready for our weekend opening with displays in place. They tell the story of the biggest event in the history of our village – a fire in 1684 that had dire consequences. And all caused by a case of hearth tax avoidance! https://t.co/iTeBF0Qhu0 @HearthTax

Cakebread made today to a 17C recipe - all ready to be displayed in our new exhibition, opening on the 22nd. After all, it was a baker who caused the devastating fire that burnt down the village! #oxfordshiremuseums #oxonmuseums #oxfordshire https://t.co/iTeBF0Qhu0

[churchill heritage @Churchillherit]

To food historians out there – can you help with a recipe for 17C bread? And give me an idea of how it would have looked? I’m wanting a visual aid for our new exhibition, which features a feckless woman baker who set fire to the village in 1684!
