On 07 June 2020 #blacklivesmatter protesters in Bristol toppled the statue of the C17th slaver Edward #Colston.
#Colston became rich from the enslavement and brutal oppression of more than 84,000 black people.
No monuments to slavers should stand.

Something else I did in London… visited this exhibition Rooms Through Time. It’s a poignant recreation of a 1950s London-Irish experience in @museumofthehome. Created by @davidpkellyfilms #emigration

In the 1970s, every home in the UK had that garden parasol and matching garden furniture.

As seen at the @MuseumoftheHome

(yes, even flats and bedsits, nowhere was safe from the dominance of the brown floral print garden parasol)

Rebecca Solomon died #OTD 1886. Interesting life as well as some fascinating genre painting focusing on women, outsiders and class in Victorian Britain. She's getting some recognition, finally, esp championed by London's #MuseumoftheHome Find out more: cmillerartlife.blogspot.com/2022/11/rebe...

Looking back at a shoot I was lucky enough to do a couple of years ago @museumofthehome
All the rooms were decorated for Christmas in historically appropriate style. The regency room being particularly understated, included only a few sprigs of fir and a very grand cake

@MuseumoftheHome #zoom I’ve been sitting in front of my Georgian drawing room all day and have never been so graciously attended to. I’d choose the medieval one if you could take the washing line away....that is just what my zoom background needs to hide!
