Great news today for our brilliant civic museums 👇🏼

Lovely walk around @yspsculpture.bsky.social this afternoon, thankfully the weather held so we didn’t get wet!

We posted this last Thursday across a number of our social platforms at National Museums Liverpool and I will be honest, the reaction was mixed but we stand by it! www.liverpoolmuseums.org.uk/news/press-r...

They will be the death of me but GET IN THERE!!!!!

That feeling when you would have taken a point before the game but you pick up all three 🥳🥳🥳 #TRFC #SWA

Delighted to see significant funding for the cultural sector announced today by @lisanandy @DCMS - the Museum Renewal Fund is vital to ensure our civic museums can thrive and the capital funding will ensure our museum building for fit for the next 50 years. 👏👏👏

I use an underwater audio delphin but there is loads available now. Makes a massive difference

My top recommendations-
For fiction- I loved A terrible kindness- Jo Browning Wroe and I enjoy all of Richard Osman’s stuff
For political stuff- Surprisingly (although don’t tell them!)Steve and Andy’s Head North is interesting
Self help type thing- The Five Dysfunctions of a Team- Patrick Lencioni

Here is this years reading list!

As most of you know I don’t actually read many books, these are all audio books I listen to whilst walking to work, on the train or swimming. I spend a lot of time on a train and have spend over 70 hours in the pool this year to plenty of time to listen.

A crisis created over the last 10 years but at breaking point now. Museums, particularly local museums, need support 👇🏼

Lovely afternoon exploring the recently reopened @BM_AG, some brilliant new displays (yes I know I am massively late to this party) great job Zak and Sara

I feel a bit bad that this guy gave me my greatest moment as a Tranmere fan with that last minute winner at Wembley and didn’t make the cut so giving him a separate post
