@debbiehearnuk.bsky.social I was having a moan to myself because the author mentioned one of the men’s families who she is researching went to a relatives for “lunch”… grhh.Then I turned the page and she had added ( called dinner by the working class). So she redeemed herself!! We NEVER had lunch!!
@debbiehearnuk.bsky.social you may recall our mutual Lambeth interest. The book I am reading said jobs at Royal doulton were much sought after due to good pay and conditions. Which meant workers there would have been considered good workers by the bosses (#proud lol)
Evening in Durham.
Just saw these views and snapped them!

Had this orchid 18 months. It's never stopped flowering and if anything, this is the best display ever! My bathroom must have had prime conditions for indoor orchids!
Dear Shabana, I notice today that you referred to me in your speech on immigration at the IPPR think tank. You said: “A party leader should not be on the beaches of France encouraging people to make a perilous crossing on small boats.” I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised especially after the hateful Labour campaign in Gorton and Denton, but this is just the latest in a string of lies peddled by a discredited Government who intentionally fan the flames of racism and division. When I went to Calais, I was not there to encourage people to travel to the UK. I was there to see at first hand the suffering your Government and successive Governments have done in demonising migrants in a pathetic bid to pander to the base instincts of Reform and the flawed strategy of Morgan McSweeney. As you will know, if you even bothered to research my visit instead of taking Reform talking points, I was there to witness the brutality of families living in tents in freezing temperatures. I filled water tanks and picked up litter. What that visit did do is confirm my belief that if we are to smash the boat gangs and stop the boats, we need to offer safer and managed routes for migrants to come to this country. Showing compassion as a politician is not a crime. In fact, we need to see much more of it. It reminded me of a young MP who in October 2015 spent three days in Lesbos helping migrants fleeing war-torn Syria. She posted videos on X, talked about handing out water and croissants to refugees and food parcels. When she returned to the UK, she wrote a very moving piece in the New Statesman. She said “we have to work with our European partners and create new, safe, and legal routes for refugees to get to Europe. We cannot abandon them to their fate, left as prey for smugglers whilst risking death on the seas.” She said “maybe we can make ourselves feel better by saying no-one is making them get on the boats. And again, the Home Secretary is not entirely wrong when …
Dear Shabana,
Let's clear some things up around migration and remember we're talking about people's lives.
Super excited is what an 11 year old would say
That looks very interesting
Very good!!!
This is fantastic! Letters from soldiers in #WW1 found in an old suitcase

My husband’s family left literally 100s of photos! Fortunately my mum in law wrote the name on the back of this lovely lady. It’s my husband’s paternal grandma.
Aren’t the ladies lovely!
Love that!!
Popped up in my “memories’ today from Covid times. I didn’t think it could get any worse!!!
It’s #WorldBookDay and here’s two of my husband’s family enjoying a good book!! C1920 ?

“So often, a visit to a bookshop has cheered me, and reminded me that there are good things in the world.”

My favourite bookshop in Southport cheered me on many an occasion in the last seven years. Sadly now closed
#World Book Day
Group family photo from circa mid 20s showing my husband’s uncle, great aunts and older relatives. Somewhere on Merseyside
Picnic on the beach with myhusbands great aunts children, an older man who is his g grandad in three piece suit, pocket handkerchief, trilby and rolled umbrella. Also an older lady in heavy coat with a huge teapot. All are wearing hats. Circa 1910. Waterloo beach on Merseyside
A stern looking woman sits with a young child on a beach
Three adults and 4 children on a beach circa 1925
Does anyone else have someone who crops up in family photos and you don’t know who they are? I just love the lady in the battered hat. She might be a great aunt’s mum in law. I’d like to meet her, she looks fun! #FamilyHistory #Womenshistory

I think I only liked it because I was fascinated with the idea of putting a tin in the oven and getting a pie!
Give me a good old Fray Bentos steak and kidney pie any day 😂 🥧
