@readswithravi Weaveworld by Clive Barker. Nothing ever begins. There is no moment from which this or any other story starts.

If you’re in Mansfield today pop along to Inspire’s Hands on Heritage day. Try our new interactive display and say hello to the archives team.

@YesterdaysBrit1 Yeah, my dad did. He was an engineer though.

@prwhittle @ThatAlexWoman But it is, isn’t it? Have I been doing English wrong all these years?

[Ruth Imeson Da Silva @nottsarchivist]

@bertsbooks Trying The Monastic World by Andrew Jotischky for a little light reading. Fascinating study of monasticism in the Middle Ages. 🙂

@Notts_TV Always reminds me of Dad. I only grew up in Nottingham because dad got a job at Ratcliffe. I remember the public open days - I still have the t-shirt.

@Dave_Lifelines I was just reading my copy at the weekend. I’ve had it 30 years. Now covered in coffee stains. 🙂

@jembloomfield But have you found the abandoned tennis court? That way lies contentment.

@melindahaunton Sage. One of the few plants to escape the slug invasion of 2024. #JacobinDay

@melindahaunton A smallish bit of sandstone propping up #Nottingham Castle #JacobinDay

[Ruth Imeson Da Silva @nottsarchivist]

@jembloomfield Congratulations Jem!🎉

[Ruth Imeson Da Silva @nottsarchivist]

If you had come down to @InspireArchives today you’d have met volunteers Emmett and Jegan, helping you with the archives escape room. @NottsLibraries @RaleighBikes_UK @heritageopenday @petergaw

[Ruth Imeson Da Silva @nottsarchivist]

Thanks to volunteers, @InspireArchives and everyone who escaped from the archives today. Also thanks to @heritageopenday for funding and @RaleighBikes_UK for the loan of the iconic chopper. @NottsLibraries

@melindahaunton The best I can do is dried, yummy cornflowers in my second favourite tea. From @BirdandBlendTea #JacobinDay which reminds me I forgot to sow cornflowers in the garden this year.

@jembloomfield I see your allium and raise you wild garlic. Albeit in not such a poetic fashion.
