Got to stay there last year for an event, such a wonderful spot. And excited about this news as an Aubrey nerd!

Just me/L. Poor Chris is still waiting, and V can't apply until I get my certificate back from my passport application.

BBC Archive just uploaded The Lonely Shore (1962), a surreal 15-minute short that takes the form of a scientific report from an abandoned and desolate future Britain. Written by Jacquetta Hawkes, an actual archaeologist, and directed by Ken Russell, an actual madman.

We still have people ask, 'but where do you park?' when they discover we live in the city proper. Explaining that we don't have a car/don't want a car leads to great confusion with a certain sort.

A request for weather interested volunteers!

Met Eireann would like to rescue millions of weather observations taken in Ireland over many decades that are still stuck on paper. #WeatherRescue

Went to check out this year’s Halloween / Samhain display at the National Botanic Gardens. Making the most of my week off - it’s perfect right now, no crowds.

Thanks for sharing! So curious.

This BBC Archive bit on a haunted nightclub in Sheffield in 1970 is a delight…but does anyone have more details on the spot and what it might be now (if anything)? Does it still have a spooky reputation? Relevant to all my interests!

Saw him in Spamalot on Broadway…he was a delight in that as well.
