In my ongoing quest to imagine the family film night which would please everyone, may I present 'Paddington in a Jane Austen', 'Jane Austen with Pokemon', and 'Jane Austen with dinosaurs and guns'.
When your 6yo talks #Pokemon non-stop: Last night, I dreamt I visited a library with extensive Pokemon special collections. We devised a partnership project, creating a #medieval #bestiary-style Pokemon book. Woke up knackered but with pretty much a full proposal draft. Help me.
Remembering @ShirleyHughes_ this evening, with so much gratitude for all the joy she gave us. (Picture from Lucy and Tom at Christmas.)
We were all (including 11yo & 6yo) especially captivated by Swarming Fever by @TessaFarmerArt, whose work has now properly infested my imagination. Faerie meets tiny Harryhausen meets dreams meets nightmare. Photos couldn't do justice: go & visit before 13 Feb! We'll be back! 3/3
@SimonDoubleday @angry_guiri Which always make me think of these illustrations from a terrifying book of my childhood... #Struwwelpeter
@gotmedieval I did not strike a match until my late teens, due to childhood terror.
Sharing some of the starting-points for my own contribution to the #Minds and Matter volume... #CARMEN_2020
Reading up on the #Geology of #Essex in the 1903 @VCH_London volume. 'The whole aspect of Essex appears geologically to be one of somewhat sluggish repose, despite the constant waste of the ground by rain and rivers and sea.' @Essex_VCH @essexarchive
I was today years old when I learned that cottage cheese is what used to be called curds and whey.
