Congratulations @ccooijmans.bsky.social Enjoyed reading it; was bemused by the tale of nun imprisoned onboard ship resulting in said ship unable to leave port. Whitby fishermen would not go to sea if they saw a nun on the way to their boat, as told to my husband in 1950-60s @whitbynats.bsky.social

We are looking at three silver spoons on a dark oak table. Two have small figures on the top of them whilst the handle is engraved with a small skull.

Unsolicited spoon pics coming your way...

...check out the bowls on those. 😍

Join us as we ogle some rather lovely silver spoons in our collection.

Do you have any Whitby (owned) ships in that data? Received wisdom is that they did. Would be interesting to compare to Scarborough and Hartlepool, maybe Yarm. Thanks.

Great session 1034 #IMC2025 on field-names, weeds, and mapping people in a tiny street. @alicewolff.bsky.social looks at weeds as 'unintended plants' as partners; Katie Hardy looking for flora and fauna in field-names, and Claire looking for neighbours. @whitbynats.bsky.social
