I don’t know why more people don’t study Lithuanian church history, it has centuries less church history than other European nations and yet historians are still tormenting themselves ploughing through the church history of countries like Greece or France. Do yourself a favour!

Nation-building isn’t just about infrastructure and resource extraction. It’s about culture. It’s about history. It’s about our stories, and the places that tell them.
This is the worst time imaginable to shut down the Register of Historic Places.

Throwback Thursday 📸
‘Men about town’, Mousehole, c.1946 by Geraldine Underell. These schoolkids outside the Keigwin Arms (one of only two buildings dating before the Spanish attack on Mounts Bay devastated Mousehole in 1595) remind us that childhood wonder never goes out of style.

Really enjoyed taking part in @seasidenetwork.bsky.social seminar on 'Wonders of the Deep' yesterday. 102 people tuned in for talks on fisheries, fearsome interwar sea monsters (linked to geopolitics, maybe?) and my own paper on architectural seahorses. A recording will be available soon...

Another lovely brochure cover from @mikeyashworth.bsky.social PLUS my dog is called Juno! She is currently sporting a cone of shame after she ran at full pelt through barbed wire and had to be stitched up 😔
A fine booklet detailing the seasonal sailings of the Steamer Juno on Clyde Estuary waters in #Scotland for summer 1930. It gives details of a wide range of steamings from the piers around the Clyde then one of the most popular local excursions. @seasideferry.bsky.social
