#Silverfish as part our Integrated Pest Management, we’ve found very small numbers of grey silverfish in the storage areas– they can live in lower humidity and can climb walls. They also feed on paper and books so not great for an archive: https://t.co/bY1xpJMDbX @LibraryofBham

@zarahandley @WingsEcosse @porridgeisgood Wine cellar Baddesley Clinton earlier today

[Sandra Cooper @cooper_sandra]

@zarahandley @WingsEcosse @porridgeisgood It is easily missed!

[Mrs Finnegan - 1830s Housekeeper @_Mrs_Finnegan]

How very true. But that doesn't mean I would mind having a few more. Fancy coming on a whirlwind* journey with a 19th century housekeeper?
Expect wit with a dash of cynicism & a soupçon of historical accuracy

*but nothing that would provoke excessive perspiration

The algorithms are making it a lot harder to spread the word about these online talks. Although numbers are still reasonable, it would be a great help if folk were able to give the 30 December event a quick share 🙂
