The Abbot’s Treasure, a 1930s penny machine (by Dennison Sisters) on display at the Abbey House Museum in Leeds. I can only assume that the Abbot in question is Abbot Thomas!

From my illness sofa this week I've been rewatching Sherlock. Haven't seen since they were aired. Apart from the theme tune and the tech - it all holds up beautifully. That playfulness is just gorgeous. I'm relishing each ep. All on Iplayer.

Can't recommend this little book enough. It's quite hard to get hold of and has never been reprinted since it's publication in 1968. 🖤

This grave is in St Aidan's churchyard in Billinge.
I chatted with one of the staff at the church - he said the skull motif was thought to mark the grave out as the inhabitant having had cholera- it was a way to keep people away from it in case there were any germs lingering!💀

A black and white photo of men and women gathered around a long table. A candle sits on the table, as the attendees join hands.

Only Fools filmed most of their exteriors in Bristol because of funds.
I try not to remember this when I'm watching it though. It just detracts.
