I have moved.
If you have as well, then feel free to give me a new neighbour knock on the door.

Happy birthday @MarDixon Dixon 🎂
Miss you so very much 😘
Thought I should try to use one of the daft things I’d picked up from your memorial to mark the day. I know my work was one of your favourite museums, so it felt fitting 😂🤣
#RememberingMar it was wonderful and emotional to come together yesterday to celebrate the impact the @MarDixon has had on our lives ❤️💔
@SESWater this meter was installed in my 79 yr old mother’s front lawn. Surely it could have been installed better? She will have difficulty mowing round this and is at risk of tripping on it as it is so raised. It feels like a mess. Can it not be improved?
A brilliant visit to the @ltmuseum library for #FamilyHistory and work research. Thank you Helen Grove #Librarian. #StageCoaches #MailGuards #Omnibus #AdrianAllinson #Art #AirRaids
Museum Libraries are the best!!
Due to an operation I’m being given a small, temporary window into disability. Yesterday was my first significant trip out. Thank you @RHSWisley & @RHSLibraries for your calm (dry) spaces, wonderful volunteers, wheelchairs, smooth paths & pick up service.
How to relax and recover on a warm day, after an operation?
Be passed an ice cream, stay on the sofa, do as you are told and tune into @AnimalHistories conference
There is always a new way to see things in @nhm_london.

In 2018 @MarDixon supported a local community group with a project to create a banner celebrating #ShropshireWomen, culminating in taking it to London to march with it. This weekend I went to watch her name starting to be added. A fitting way to remember her ❤️ #Quatt

Look familiar @NHM_London? This one of Waterhouse’s creatures sits at Tamworth Castle. Apparently this one got damaged in transit and so was transported back to the manufacturer in Tamworth.
