This fascinating book reminded me of the 1,500 year old child's tunic woven from wool and linen, and the astonishing mummified cats I saw in Bristol Art Gallery and Museum.@bristolmuseum

Went to the #wildlifephotographeroftheyear exhibition in #bristolmuseum. amazing collection of work, especially for the young categories. However, the caiman DO get reduced to an absolute jobber in the animal kingdom at the hands of jaguars and anacondas 🐍🐊🐆

10 years with my partner last week so we went back to where it all began at #BristolMuseum to celebrate.

…and then he asked me a question. ❤️

A landscape photo in a white frame. Michael stands in the corner of an art gallery with his back to the camera, wearing brown trousers and a blue denim jacket. To the left, a large photograph shows a mayor in traditional garb next to a shirtless person with various queer slurs written on their torso. On the right, 9 smaller photographs are displayed in a 3x3 grid, depicting people holding protest placards and posing for the camera. A portrait photo in a white frame. An anniversary card is placed on a wooden surface, showing an illustration of a male couple walking together under a rainbow coloured forest. A smaller card placed in front of it reads in handwriting “BTW - It's a 'ring Sizer’ for a ring that I bought. So I guess I'm asking if you would be with me forever. Ya know… like... will you marry me?” followed by a heart.
