I'm really looking forward to seeing @lucyworsley.bsky.social 's new programme about #MaryI to which I contributed in a small way. I've never seen myself on TV and I have a feeling I'll be so self-conscious I'll be hiding behind the sofa...It airs on 24 January.

Today's top pick is all about signage & wayfinding! In a previous life, I looked after S&W for a huge museum & so I probably pay a weird amount of attention to it when we're out & about.

This year, I particularly loved this floor signage in the lift at the #Waterford Treasures: Medieval Museum!

Now, onto my top #ruins of the year! Popped to #Pontefract a few weeks ago and stumbled across the beautiful All Saints Church, a 1960s church snuggled in the ruins of a 14th/15th century church destroyed during the civil wars. Absolutely beautiful 😍

Our best surprise visit of the year was undoubtedly seeing the "Displaced: From the Nile to the Derwent" exhibition at #Derby Museum & Art Gallery just before it closed. The interpretation was honest, respectful, and thought-provoking.
