Happy discovering new places and history. Pleased to be a Keeper of Social History. Enjoy music, dancing and books.

Disappointed with no refund for £20 cushion with chemical smell from @A_ShabbyLass giving me and housemates headaches. Don’t buy soft furnishings from here.

@EmmaLucyHarper @LeedsCityMuseum These were some items that caught my eye too. Loved the fireman’s top hat style helmet.

@jacqui_gavin @higginsbedford @LGBTHM Was such a pleasure to have you join us @jacqui_gavin it was such an inspirational talk for us all to encourage us to seek our true selves authentically. Thankyou.

@ClareSmith1888 Yes I agree sheet changing is definitely a Monday job. Friday is just there for getting through and collapsing on the bed.

@MikeJ_A I was actually more excited this piece was by a female sculptor Betty Dewson.

@BedfordOpenDoor Would knitted be ok?

[Lydia Saul @lydiavicky]

@kaytejudge I would too

[Lydia Saul @lydiavicky]

@benjiw He'll be too busy protesting about it no doubt. Hope he doesn't go and heckle he might get thrown out (that would be quite funny!)

[Lydia Saul @lydiavicky]

@kaytejudge Not an easy place to be and I guess you only realise how much it all impacts on your life once you are in the middle of it, hope it is ok. Take care of yourself!

@DanNouveau Brilliant - you have done so much for LGBTQ+ community, lots to reflect and celebrate about - enjoy your 10 year anniversary in style!

[Lydia Saul @lydiavicky]

@LKN_Libraries @DanNouveau @LGBTHM @britishlibrary @cambslib @leedslibraries @MancLibraries @SheffLibraries @DevonLibraries @Liverpoollib @TalesOfOneCity @silvercitylibs @LibrariesNI @WorcsLibraries So wonderful, positive, enlightening! Ready to get planning, sending rainbows too!

This is a fascinating story of resilience and discovery

[Living Knowledge Network @LKN_Libraries]

'So much of LGBT history, especially trans history, has been erased or lost, or just goes undocumented. Seeing these stories and preserving these stories feels especially important.'

Now celebrating the life of Mark Weston and archiving LGBT+ histories!

Wow what a brilliant person and poet!

[Living Knowledge Network @LKN_Libraries]

'Maya Angelou was a formidable woman, multi-talented actress, rioter, public speaker, poet, who had suffered adversity but had come up through that and was a force to be reckoned with.'

@hgeyVanguard introduce Maya Angelou, one of the 'Five Faces' of @LGBTHM 2021.

[Lydia Saul @lydiavicky]

First of the LGBT+ history month people being celebrated for 2021!

[Living Knowledge Network @LKN_Libraries]

First up, @FootballMuseum introduces football icon Lily Parr.

'Lily Parr was a cigarette smoking, over 900 goals scoring, gender role smashing woman, who rejected the prescriptive normativity of her time and lived with another woman for most of her life.'

@LGBTHM

[Lydia Saul @lydiavicky]

@SueDCHA @MuseumsAssoc So helpful and brilliant examples of how to do contemporary collecting in different ways.

[Lydia Saul @lydiavicky]

@Sharonheal @AmsterdamMuseum Really inspiring to hear of the great work they have been doing, lots of food for thought.

[Lydia Saul @lydiavicky]

@SamJamJenkins Hope all goes well once on furlough - good idea - I will be dipping into these too.

[Lydia Saul @lydiavicky]
