Delighted to be able to share the story of how one of our manuscript volumes was conserved @GlosCathedral @TinMillPress

Drawing: Possible causes of your problems. I've been appalled at the scenes we've witnessed over the last few days. It's utterly unacceptable that people should have to live in fear because of the colour of their skin.

@SanjeePerera1 @GlosCathedral @GlosDioc A delight to show you some of our treasures yesterday, and thank you for the unearned doctorate, unfortunately I'm still just an Archivist so far. 🙂 Hope you enjoy the rest of your preaching residency. Some tickets for our Easter Saturday libraryvtours still available.

@allymcc50 That'll be because of the steam trains...

@HannahBarraclo8 Such a shame that you should ever have to moderate love in a church. We follow a good of love and I pray that everybody will come to realise that

[Becky Phil @shorbex]

@MollyBoot1 💔 how dare they criticise love in any form!

[Becky Phil @shorbex]

@GlosRoads why does North/ south traffic get multiple turns before the east/west traffic finally gets a 20 second turn?

[Becky Phil @shorbex]

@GlosRoads is there a known problem with the Newent traffic lights on B4215. Stuck in a 20 minute queue as usual at this time of day

@GWRHelp Hi Kyle, thank you, I know it's a privileged complaint to make, but it's such a shame when service isn't up to usual standards. Really appreciate the quick reply and the link, which may also be helpful to others. Sounds like you're holding the fort on your own tonight 👍🙂

[Becky Phil @shorbex]

@GWRHelp disappointed to be told that the first class lounge at Paddington was closing at 7:30pm this evening, and then no first class facilities on the train. No warning, no announcement on train. Not what we expect for the much higher price charged for first class tickets.

#uksnow Trying to decide when to venture out to the car to fetch the forgotten shopping from yesterday! about an inch deep here, but it's easing off now. "Where's that shovel?"

@nosuchthing @Schreiberland Thanks for a brilliant show tonight. If you ever fancy visiting Gloucester, we would love to have you.

[Gloucester Cathedral @GlosCathedral]

#KyneburgaTweets #OTD in 1298, William de Brok, from our abbey, graduated in theology at Gloucester College with many abbots, monks, clergy and squires present, up to 100 mounted men. This was the first Benedictine college in Oxford University and is now @WorcCollegeOx

@LesleySainty @GlosCathedral That'll be the amazing carillon, which plays three times a day. It's even programmed using an iPad, so the tunes are constantly changing. https://t.co/PNolYa2MbH

Want to know more about the #1921Census? Here’s an opportunity…

[Gloucester Cathedral @GlosCathedral]

Walter de Lacy, in ripe old age, was stricken in his eyes about 2 years this side of his life’s end. One night, on December 11, he was happily singing the Saturday liturgy, chanting with the psalmsingers and monks. He left out not a single verse. #KyneburgaTweets (thread)

[Gloucester Cathedral @GlosCathedral]

🔔 Please note that there will be no visitor access to the Nave between 12.30pm-3pm today and again between 1pm-3.30pm tomorrow due to special services. However, there will be access to the Cloisters via The Monk's Kitchen.

@mmelbourne 😢

[No Such Thing As A Fish @nosuchthing]

Bath, Cardiff, Belfast & Dublin are currently still on. But Cardiff especially looks v. unlikely to happen given the current restrictions. Basically we’ll be led by the rules in each country & will reschedule any shows we need to cancel. (2/3)
