@GillianKeegan - I'm ashamed that our local MP is the minister for mental health. Mental Health provision in Sussex is a total scandal - and your party is to blame. Give the NHS/CAMHS what they need to do their jobs. It will be too late when our children are dead. @Chiobserver

That's nice but I have ZERO trust in your organisation-been waiting 2.5 years for a MH assessment for my child. Against protocol sent home from A&E y'day am after a suicide attempt & still no follow up from CAMHS. Do we have to resort to legal challenges to get help for our kids?

Edgar Allan Poe, who died #OTD in 1849, used to write with his cat, Catterina, on his shoulder.A visitor to Poe's home observed the cat "purring as if in approval of the work proceeding under her supervision." Just another reason to love Poe.

It's been a stressful week for so many of us. Let's take a few gentle moments to contemplate the Moon serenading us with his flute... 🎶 #FolkloreAtNight 'Sēd uz sliekšņa pasaciņa' (1987) dir. Roze Stiebra.

I'm often asked about the oldest objects I find and the answer is fossils. I picked these up over the last month, Most of the fossils I find on the foreshore are in flint. They probably came to the river in the chalk that was laid down on top of barge beds in the 18th and 19th c

My autochrome enhancements from Arabia have always proven popular, so I thought I would bring 4 of them together for you to enjoy. They were all taken 103 years ago, in March 1918, in the area now known as Jordan. Taken by Paul Castelnau, they are original colour (not colourised)

Under the railway bridge in Acton in around 1858 a man in a top hat is posing next to the very latest technology - a telegraph pole. The first poles were used in 1843 by telegraph pioneer William Fothergill Cooke, who used them on a line along the GW Railway. (BT Archive)

While visions of sugar-plums danced in their heads… “The Christmas Dream” by French artist-adventurer Jules Tavernier (1844-1889)— the content pre-empting many a contemporary horror film. #GothicAdvent

Really appalling behaviour from #tReds @tRedsOfficial. Shutting down the #Chichester store with no notice & making everyone redundant 2 weeks before Christmas. You've strung along your workforce along for weeks. They have bills to pay/families to support. #MerryChristmastReds.
