@leonafenzo @TrentUni @EastMidsOHA Thank you @leonafenzo - glad you enjoyed it. It's been great having our citizen historians on board for the project, their enthusiasm and energy was invaluable - thank you, volunteers!

Tonya Outram @TrentUni did such a fabulous job of sharing the impact this project had on the decline of the textile industries. Not only have people learnt about East Midlands heritage, but I love that you have trained citizen historians along the way @TalesTextile @EastMidsOHA

Quote of the day, in The Guardian, from a ‘tired teacher in Hastings’: I didn’t think the apocalypse would have this much admin...

[Seema @seemathewombat]

I’m a Dr.

I’m about to separate from my family within my home for ?? months.

So that I can keeping treating you, whilst trying to keep my family safe.

It hurts.

No hugs from my girls, no cuddles from my partner.

PLS socially distance NOW, to make my sacrifice worth it.
