Various seed mixes add patches of different colour & height. #Superbloom
Particularly loved the areas where small mounds added wave-like height & relief. #Superbloom
A final visit also with the wonderful @f_ben87 who leaves @HistEnvForum this week - certainly a metaphor for the legacy she leaves with the team of a transformed new model forum. We will miss you Fran. #Superbloom@TowerOfLondon

Out and about today for @Heritage_NGOs in Bath & Bristol. Our first stop of the day - @FairfieldHouse_ home to Emperor Haile Selassie I & now a lively, sacred & historic place of importance for many communities including Ethiopians, Rastafari & Bath residents. 🧵
We chatted to a local charity group who work at Fairfield each fortnight, sewing bags to sell for good causes. A great example of heritage hosting creativity & wellbeing activities. Also on site is the Windrush Centre with an exhibition of community donated items.
So many fascinating connections from WW2 to Selassie to Pankhurst. @FairfieldHouse_ is gradually amassing collections including Selassie’s pianola

Good morning from @Heritage_NGOs member @RIBA for @HOLTofLondon conference on #PublicArt - a full house as Director Dr Nicola Stacey introduces the theme of breaking the barrier between heritage & art.

Care & restoration. Imaginative reuse where this is needed. This should always be possible.
