My latest piece of stained glass finally delivered. I had planned it for my friend's birthday in June. This is why I can't take commissions!

The new special exhibition ‘Seeing Double’ at @WFMuseums at @MyWakefield #WakefieldOne is a unique way to step back in time in #Wakefield and its world leading textile industry. #Museum #Exhibition #Heritage #Textile

Now that my lovely scuba diving sister-in-law has received her gift, I wanted to share a photo of my latest piece of glasswork. It was a fun one to make.

Oh what a (k)night! King Arthur from @LeNavetBete was exactly what I hoped it would be. A very silly show. Loved it. Thank you @castindoncaster

Back from a short trip to the Netherlands. I took lots of geeky photos of really slick museum interpretation, but also managed to take some pretty ones (incl obligatory windmill)!

it's a bit hot out #heatwave
Black and white photo of two Fryston men standing in the sea off Scarborough beach, which almost comes up to their knees. One is in a rather revealing bathing suit, and looks a bit like an unamused Tommy Shelby. The other is more formally dressed but has rolled his trousers up past his knees. Photo taken by Jack Hulme, circa 1940s

I have been using this same advent calendar by @Sallyswannell for 7 years now. I'm sure that a tiny clockwork mouse shouldn't make me this happy - but it does - every time!
