Love my work colleagues. They have also worked New Year's Eve dressed as Call the Midwife '. Including the nun.

Looking in C17 newspapers for adverts for relating to means of pain relief. Resisting the temptation to explore 'Jackie'.

Granddaughter wants to play 'St Nicholas'. Apparently she has lots of money and I have to go to sleep.

Sounds fair to me.

Looking forward to reading this. It was spoken highly of at the @oneplacestudies.bsky.social webinar yesterday. #OnePlaceWednesday

Hope you recover soon.

One of the great privileges of my (ahem). 40 year career is working in the culturally diverse melting pot that is the NHS. It's a joy and I've been greatly enriched by it.

Can't resist a war memorial. Not sure of the conflict here but there is a sad degree of surname congruence in this example from Georgia. Shared patronymics suggest some were brothers. RIP gentlemen.

Ooh I love a good timeline! Here is mine, from my #OnePlaceStudies place. Local events in red, national etc in black. Not very sophisticated but works for me. #OnePlaceWednesday

Our blogging prompt for October 2025 is #OnePlaceTimelines. Have you used timelines to highlight gaps in your knowledge, to better understand your #OnePlaceStudy place or its people, or to present OPS information? If not, try out timelines. And do share your experiences! #OnePlaceWednesday

Recently been on holiday, can't resist a good graveyard on a #OnePlaceWednesday. Istanbul.

Just grateful that my #OnePlaceStudies place only has one alphabet to deal with!

Military & War is the theme for #AATP25 Day 3. To tie in with that we have just added a new video to our YouTube channel from our Chair, @springhillops.bsky.social Janet Barrie: Conscientious Objection in WW1. This focuses on Janet's #OnePlaceStudy of Springhill, Higher Cloughfold, in #Lancashire.
