1st gravestone I’ve managed for #31DaysOfGraves Day 12 - Notable Woman. Agatha Christie’s grave in St Mary’s Church Cholsey, Oxfordshire. Not sure about the apple - maybe I could have posted it for Day 10 - Urn 😂

😂😂 I have seen one of those on someone’s solar panels- the seagulls like to nest on them 🤦‍♀️ yes thought it did look like one and yes it was moving 😂 seems quite happy watching the birds. Annoyingly I was watching it for ages but as I looked away it flew off & I missed it 😠

Surprised to see this #owl quite happily sitting in the sun this morning. ‘’Ah this is what it’s like in the daytime’’ not great photo but through binoculars it was absolutely gorgeous just watching the birds. Don’t know if @atcherleyons.bsky.social can help with identifying. Long-Eared Owl?

This is Trevor Fisher, speaking to @channel4news.bsky.social from Arthur Rank Hospice in Cambridgeshire this week.

As a palliative care specialist, Trevor’s interview has devastated me.

His hospice has just been told Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Trust is withdrawing £800k of funding. 🧵

And you Karen 😊

Julia - Genealogy Journeys @juliagenealogy.bsky.social · 8d

Yes it can be really difficult to cover these things

Julia - Genealogy Journeys @juliagenealogy.bsky.social · 8d

Maybe a warning at the beginning - ‘this contains language of the time’ ‘no way you condone the language’ etc. If actually writing it out yourself I would probably do as you have here ‘N*****’. Horrible language we wouldn’t use today but relevant to the time. Mostly what you’re comfortable with 😊
