Any politician calling to leave the ECHR is lying about what that will achieve. It won’t solve any problem or improve our lives It will make us worse off and remove our rights. Just like Brexit. The ECHR belongs to us all. It’s not theirs to take. Please sign www.europeanmovement.co.uk/echr-petition

Act now to protect the UK's place in the ECHR
Sign the European Movement UK's petition now if you agree: Britain must remain in the ECHR

London is getting a new museum showing off Roman and medieval fortifications
A section of the Roman Wall and a medieval bastion, hidden beneath an office building for decades, will open to the public this December in a new free museum.

I thought this was supposed to be a football match not an ‘entertainment’ programme. Please do not give this to the US again.

A sculpture by Fenwick Lawson in St Mary the Virgin on Holy Island. The monks are carrying the coffin of St Cuthbert as they leave the island in 875. The sculpture is made of elm and is called ‘The Journey’. Stunning. #TombTuesday #HolyIsland

while doing some research I came across the greatest headline I have ever read & I can’t believe I missed this in 2011
Telegraph headline:
Paul Daniels injured in Sooty pizza-throwing accident
Paul Daniels, the magician, was taken to hospital with head injuries after being hit in the face by a pizza thrown by the puppet Sooty.

50 Years of COAM – 1980 St. Albans Abbey Barn, also known as St. Julians, arrived at COAM. Dismantled in 1962, it spent many years in storage before finding a home with us. This medieval barn was built between 1390 and 1400. Find out more www.coam.org.uk/blogs/buildi...
