The thugs last night are not Sunderland. Sunderland is the hundreds of people who have turned up this morning with brooms to sweep away the shards of hate.
The Sunderland I'm proud of , people coming together to sort the mess up and tidy. The new local MP speaking very well

Tonight’s shameful scenes do not represent our culture, our history, or our people. Our great city is built on togetherness and acceptance, and Sunderland will forever be for all. We are stronger as one community. Now. Then. Always. ❤️🤍

An amazing Roman pot from Colchester, depicting gladiatorial combat, bestiarii, an animal stampede at the Roman circus. This colour coated, barbotine decorated cup is one of my favourite pieces to replicate but also one of the most challenging #Archaeology #pottery

GAA President Jarlath Burns with a message more important than ever after the All-Ireland Final. “For those who are our diaspora, who left this country because of war and famine, whose ancestors had to leave…and we thank the country’s who took you in and gave you jobs” 👏👏

Fresh from the kiln this morning, this little beauty. If, like me, you love the practical simplicity of Roman Black Burnished Cooking pots, BB2, give it some love. Soon to be found on our online shop Potted-history.co.uk #Archaeology #Roman #pottery – at Rothbury, England

Hello, Sarah here from Potted History - I'm hella nervous about making this post, but here goes. I've unfortunately been diagnosed with breast cancer, which, as you can imagine, is a shock. Today, I’m asking for your support to continue my work creating museum-quality replicas.
