Left: Chiming. Lady in big blouse, big hair, big skirt,.with foot in loop of rope attached to sally of bell-rope (*not* best practice!) Right: An accident. Same lady?

An hour south of Whitby, half an hour south of Scarborough – the Rudston Monolith in Rudston churchyard (also where Winifred Holtby is buried).

Sorry - John Gloag, not Julian!

Another historical: the Round Table knights as the last remaining Roman legionaries in Britain - Julian Gloag, The Eagles Depart.

Best historical reimagining - Rosemary Sutcliff, Sword at Sunset, but read her Lantern Bearers first. She also did a three-book Malory retelling, available as the King Arthur Trilogy, but otherwise Sword and the Circle, Light Beyond the Forest, Road to Camlann.

So am I - bought a ticket!

Anna had no hesitation in selling her mother's clothes. The villagers were soon to learn the consequences of casting out a stranger with cholera...

Short answer: no. Nor of logic, nor culpability.

Well, aaaargh. They have corrected the two typos on the website but not in the flyer that they were handing out. Nor have they improved the picture. However I get a fee, which is news!

Betlehem closed off

#BREAKING | The Israeli army has SEALED OFF Bethlehem in the West Bank, closing all entrances and exits to the city.

This has a name, It's called an illegal siege. Imagine YOU had to live like this.

(sorry, the catalogue doesn't have a browse option so there are superfluous titles. I've reduced it to the London publications here: discover.libraryhub.jisc.ac.uk/search?q=dat...

I can only find holding libraries in the UK, sorry. But fwiw - perhaps a contact could arrange you a photocopy and post it?

Sanguine, bilious, choleric, phlegmatic.

#Engineers #Bioengineers Is anyone out there in contact with Prof Marilyn Lord with whom I, new librarian, shared an office in UCL Dept Mech Engineering 1986-1987? I'd love to get back in touch.

My grandfather was out there on Agamemnon...

There are an awful lot of Wilsons - even Luciles Wilson!

I see his name is spelt differently - maybe that's why I couldn't find it.

Thank you for the correction!

Such adorable ears!
