Dr Tim Meek

I would readily come to this Nina, but it would effectively be two days. I hope and trust the books will fly off the shelves and look forward to my own copy and watching online after the event.

Talk and Book Launch- Featuring Dr Nina Baker OBE The untold story of female Merchant Navy seafarers who lost their lives to enemy action in the First and Second World Wars

My book launch @ Scottish Maritime Museum 7 March.
I know most friends on here are nowhere near the West of Scotland, but my talk will be recorded & on Youtube early next week.
If you can attend in person (so I am not talking to an empty room......), book here: www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/talk-and-b...

It’s unusual to see him in boots, it’s normally Crocs so insurance would be invalid 🤦

This illustrates why I stopped contracting- 14 years to install the utility sink. But it was cheap. My plumber mate Bob (under sink) let me have the taps for £40, sink is Ikea, the flagstone was kicking around and the woven stuff from the garden. Limey stuff B&Q. Pigments are leftovers.

There’s a real sense of calm and serenity in the architecture of the Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Harlton, Cambridgeshire - even just in little snippets of it, like this 🥰

Just want add that the harl and limewash was done by Alison Davie who trained with me

This was great.

At the dawn of the fourth anniversary of the start of Russian war in Ukraine, all that the Slovakian PM is concerned about is when the russian oil supplies through Ukraine will be reinstated.

Fico is a Putin enabler. Utterly shameful.

We were discussing how to hide it and then said "oh stuff it, lets just weave it in" 😱

Our Ross is getting on with his Mam's house.

We would so love to introduce our conference in York with this

The narrative is that gables on to the sea present less surface area in storms. But I’d need to think about it a bit more.

Thanks to all those who have submitted abstract/summaries for What's the Point Two 2026 on the 14th of April in York. Booking is now live here: lnkd.in/eex5Rg4w but do get a wiggle on because in person places are limited and are going like hot cakes – you can come along online as well.

Some of the wonderful 14th century domestic wall paintings that cover the interior of Longthorpe Tower, Peterborough…complete with birds and bunnies (top left)! 🥰
