Discovered by a metal detectorist on a former medieval market site, this seal matrix will be displayed in its former home of Mottisfont as part of #FestivalOfArchaeology. The seal's inscription links it to the former monastery in Hampshire.

Lily Savage does a screen test for Birds of a Feather (spoof)

I hadn't seen this before today. Lily Savage auditions for the role of Sharon in classic sitcom Birds of a Feather. Sketch also features Linda Robson as Tracy with Anita Dobson auditioning for Dorian.

@westiewalker57 Preparing for the clocks to jump forward this weekend!

[Gerry Downes @gd67]

@LittleToller I’m sorry you had a rubbish day yesterday. I’ve placed an order this morning and hope it helps. Also, I am very happy to wait and receive all the books at once if that helps with postage. Warmest wishes, Gerry

[Gerry Downes @gd67]

@LadyHaywire Sending hugs and good luck for your fostering idea. You’re amazing! Keep going ….. you’ve got this. x

[Gerry Downes @gd67]

@julesbuddle @FromPaperchase If it wasn’t for the fact that I was late for my train at King’s Cross, I’d have done exactly the same. Maybe not the cat stickers though! 😂

[Gerry Downes @gd67]

@LadyHaywire So sorry that your valiant effort didn’t pay off this time.
