I once tried to buy a lighthouse and I help save stripes. I also take photos and write books. / researched family name to 1520

We were treated to a very impressive light show from the aurora borealis in the skies above Morwenstow in Cornwall last night. I managed to catch most of it on timelapse video. https://t.co/t7bfGSSd71

For my book, The Story of the Beachy Head Lighthouse, I did extensive research into the construction of the lighthouse. I was privileged to able to visit the De Lank quarry in Cornwall from where the original granite blocks came from. https://t.co/kMUPEifmlk

The Northern Lights were spectacular due to the solar storm. Thankfully, I managed to catch a rather impressive timelapse of the event on a rare clear night in Morwenstow, North Cornwall. https://t.co/2oQJs9Hfn6

Would anyone like to buy two tickets to see Bill Bailey in Nottingham on Friday 1st March? Unfortunately we can’t make it now (sorry @BillBailey) and I would hate there to be two empty seats on the night.
Tickets available on ethical @Twickets - https://t.co/k5ejrzwFGe. #comedy

Thank you to the Women's Institute in #Morwenstow, #Cornwall for asking me to talk about the Lighthouses of Beachy Head. It was a pleasure to be able to share more information about the magnificent @TheBelleTout and #BeachyHead #Lighthouses.

Had the most amazing meal at The Old Smithy Inn in #Welcombe. Best fish and chips at any pub or restaurant - ever. The fish was cooked to perfection. The batter was beautifully delicate and crispy. The chips were divine, and with minted peas. First class. Highly recommended.

It was one of those crazy days at Birling Gap today with people far too close to the cliff edge for comfort. #birlinggap #erosion #coastalerosion #cliff https://t.co/wiNPdML2mk

I was honoured to talk to the Morwenstow Society in Cornwall yesterday about the Lighthouses of Beachy Head. It was a great turn out and a real pleasure to share my love for these lighthouses. Thank you for having me.

[Rob Wassell @robwassell]

Thank you to @FamilyRootsEast for having me talk to your group about the Lighthouses of Beachy Head on Thursday 6th October. It was a great audience who asked lots of questions and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

##horizonslive if I shone a torch into the sky, would the light from it travel to the other side of the universe eventually?

[Rob Wassell @robwassell]

#horizonslive if the universe is expanding, what is it expanding into? Surely something can't be truly infinite?

I had great fun with @MrRobBell at @TheBelleTout and Birling Gap last week filming for a future episode of Lighthouses: Building the Impossible for @channel5_tv
