Cycling round Wiltshire and feeding the ducks (and playing records and building little aeroplanes).

It’s my birthday.

The best thing you could do for me is buy my lovely new book, ‘Birds Painted on Beer Mats’

That would be great for both of us I think.

Aerial photography's often fascinating, but this oblique view of Swindon and 1920 is a particular peach.

I bought this hand coloured copy of the 18th century engraving of Cherhill White Horse some time back. It was inexpensive because someone started recolouring it in the 60s judging by the paint applied to the traveller's coat left.

Anybody want to go and work for Vickers at South Marston (currently a massive speculative industrial estate, formerly Honda)?

Had a bit of a tidy while listening to the football. What do we think was occupying the minds of Practical Motorists in June 1958?

Oh...

Have some of that. Shame Walsall got a winner at Bromley, but second in the table's ok for now (and all you can do is win, right?).
Hope Holloway doesn't mind me enjoying things...

I think at this point if you're including Diane Abbott - a woman who has never held government office, has been a backbencher since 2020, and is scarcely a government ally - on your list of political wrongdoers, we all know exactly what your real concerns are

Looking forward to this (having live-tweeted Alcock and Brown's crossing in real time, a hundred years on)

I don't think I've seen stones used to weigh anything other then people for decades. Pounds maybe, if your style guide insists on bracketed imperial measurements, but not stones.

Cool story though.

An aerial photo of Liddington hillfort in our collectons inspired artist and archaeologist Rose Ferraby to create two prints now in our exhibition - Liddington in Winter / Summer. Different layers of paint in the print created different effects. #HillfortsWednesday

Is this cheese grater conscious? Many users feel they're talking to a real person. Scientists say it's time to consider whether they're onto something.
