Worm your way to Wakefield Museum to meet our new not-so-little friend! 🪱
This giant Worms costume has kindly been lent to us by Team17. We're celebrating 30 years of Worms!
The worm is on display with a Banana Bomb, Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch, and of course, a Concrete Donkey. 🪱🎮

Museum display case featuring a costume and props from the computer game worms. The costume is the most striking part of the display. It is a pink, person-sized worm with thin black arms, large cartoonish eyes and a smiling mouth.
A museum panel that says '30 years of worms, a Wakefield game changer' There are silhouettes of computer games controllers and a floppy disk, and the Team 17 logo at the bottom of the panel.
Worms, worms, WORMS!! Love the new @wakefieldmuseums.bsky.social display celebrating 30 years since the launch of worms, the classic game by Wakefield-based @team17.bsky.social How is it 30 years since it came out?? #Worms #Wakefield #Gaming #nineties #Yorkshire #Museums

Fair maids of February looking beautiful up in North Yorkshire today. It's still bitterly cold but always lovely to see them boldly ushering in the Spring #Snowdrops #Yorkshire
Definitely. My other half has been slightly obsessively tracking them in the next door wood using Merlin 😄 We've been hearing them for a few months, but seeing one in the garden though was amazing. Next on my bucket list is a firecrest 🤞🔥
Woohoooo! Saw my first one in the garden here in South Yorkshire about a month ago. Sooooo exciting!!! Also thought it was a wren initially. Definitely smaller though.
Divert all attention to these beautiful iconic historic postboxes that carry our precious letters helping to open up the world around us like nothing else. Happy #PostboxSaturday, everyone! (Thanks to Julie for the photo too!) 😁📮👈🔓❤️
Ugh, yes. Out brains are definitely out to sabotage us sometimes. Hope you can tame it with tunes!
Pushing a slightly too-full wheelbarrow up an icy plank onto a spoil heap (as a young archaeologist). Slipped on the ice, fell off the plank, scraped my face down the contents of the barrow as I went, and then dropped the barrow on my foot 🤦 Mortified.
Saw my first Charles III postbox (lamp type) in Castleford, West Yorks, just before Christmas. I was so excited I stopped the car to go back and have a proper look 😄 That's the only one I've seen so far though.
Ah good to know, thanks 👍
Last chance before the mainland! 😂
Weathered, large red pillar box. Has a crown and the words 'Royal Mail' cast on the front. Cast letters on the the base say 'Machan Eng Scotland' Above the casting slot, to the left of the changeable day panel, cast letters say 'next collection'
Nice Scottish pillar box for the first #PostboxSaturday of 2026. Ferry terminal in Brodick #IsleOfArran Don't know the date, as no royal cypher, but the casting says it was made by Machan Engineering Scotland. Nice little 'next collection' casting detail too @lbsg.org @letterappsoc.bsky.social
And here's the original version @michaelcurates.bsky.social and I put together as a Christmas video for the team, not thinking for a second that it would go viral and end up on the BBC news... 😄 I'd like to think Arthur world have been pleased youtu.be/orlqLBPFnxk?... #ChristmasEve #BarnsleyCarol
On Christmas Eve I'm thinking about the Barnsley Carol, written by Barnsley glass bottle maker Arthur Godfrey in 1933. Rediscovered by @barnsleymuseums.bsky.social in 2023 and now sung by people across the World. So proud to have been part of its journey barnsleymuseums.art.blog/2023/12/12/a...
In bed with a virus, but this has cheered up my afternoon. Sad in the circumstances, but a lovely chat about a legend of rugby union who changed the game, and perhaps unexpectedly made a massive impact in Wales too www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/... #JonahLomu @cardiffrugby.bsky.social #BBCSounds
Yes please @dannyrobins.bsky.social I imagine we're not the first people to ask... 😂 #UncannyCommunity
Most likely. I'd love to see what was interpreted as a rib cage though. That feels quite unusual as paranormal photos go.
If she's still got them. It was a long time ago. I feel like Danny might have shared them by now if that was an option. It would be fascinating to see them though!
Came here to ask this too 👍
Interesting. Hadn't considered that.
Red post box with a crown and CIII insignia on a silver plate below the posting hole. The design is rectangular and modern looking.
My first Charles III postbox! Spotted in Castleford, West Yorkshire this week. Stopped the car to go back for a photo. Such a geek 😂🤦 #PostboxSaturday @lbsg.org @letterappsoc.bsky.social
Awww. Feels like a long time ago, even though it's only a couple of years! Hooray for Arthur Godfrey and his beautiful carol.
Thanks. It was great to talk to you all! So much great heritage work happening across the Wakefield District. It's a pleasure to be part of it.
And here's the background to its rediscovery while I was researching the history of Barnsley Town Hall
barnsleymuseums.art.blog/2023/12/12/a...
The Christmas trees are up outside Barnsley town hall so I think it's acceptable to start sharing links to The Barnsley Carol again. Here's the 'original' recording by @industrialteg.bsky.social of the Arthur Godfrey carol that had been lost for 90 years

It's been a bumper harvest this year due to the UK's unusually hot dry summer. Usually don't get anything like this!
Three large bowls of brightly.coloured chillies on a blue and white cloth. One bowl is full of bright red long cayenne chillies, one bowl is full of mixed green and bright orange large Amarillo chillies and one bowl is full of chocolate brown mid sized Macha Pichu chillies.
Second to last chilli harvest of the year to cheer up a grey miserable November day. Cayenne, Aji Amarillo and Macha Pichu. The freezer is already full, so time to make hot sauce and chilli jams 🌶️🌶️🌶️ #Chilli #Preserves #WinterHarvest #Yorkshire @dgbhotsauce.bsky.social
Hand holding a glass of red wine next to a plate with three cream crackers topped with butter and blue cheese. One of the crackers has Picallili on top of the cheese.
Now the flipping fireworks have finished and the dog is starting to relax again, it's time for some Duke of Wellington blue by #CryerAndStott #WestYorkshire (bought from Ossett market) home made Picallili and a nice glass of #IsleOfWight red. Proper Saturday night treat! 😋 #GoodFood #HomeGrown
Well you can't put that down to mining subsidence certainly 🤔😂
The rattling door/windows immediately made me wonder about subsidence from former mine workings. I talked to a lady a few years ago who had subsidence under her house in the 1980s in South Yorkshire. She described very similar things - windows and doors rattling and shaking.
