Playing Botany by Amy & Dusty at Dux Somnium Games. Everything I want in a #boardgame: beautiful art, cheeky Events to keep players on their toes, antique map game board and lovely flowers. Really having fun! #boardgamesky #botany #Victorian #Ephemera

#Boardgame recommendation! Spending most of the morning in an airport lounge reminded me of the time we played @devirgames.bsky.social Red Cathedral during a long layover. So many people stopped and asked us about it. Great travel-sized box. Currently in my top 10 of fave games

I visited the museum in July, and it was a surprisingly emotional experience. Rockwell seemed to believe in an innate goodness in Americans. I just wish we could all live up to it.

I buy compelling photos from antique and junk shops. I am also the designated photo collection inheritor for my family. Once Flashes gets up and running, I will revive my 'Re-collected' series of digitised vintage photos, but here is a sample (1965, unknown photographer). #vintagephotographs

Percy packed a treat for me in my suitcase! He tried to pack his toys as well, but I took them out. 🥹 Sadly, the treat will not make it back to Australia. Customs would not appreciate the gesture.
