ABC

So, you may have noticed that I’m currently taking part in the ‘April A-Z Blogging Challenge’ which means writing a blogpost every day (except Sunday) themed around a letter of the alphabet. Goodness, what a lot of extra work that has turned out to be!!!

So far, we’ve had posts on Abbeyfield Houses; Brooks; canal mile markers; Domesday Book; The Eagle; Fire; Garages; Heritage Open Days; Incorporation of the Borough; John Jones; K, and Lucy boxes! I wonder what delights next week will bring?!

Interestingly, I’ve also been acting out an ABC for real this week, as I’ve been helping to move the Archives, down at the Bellfoundry, where a group of us have formed a Chain to take boxes, books, and journals from the current archive room, down the stairs, and into the new archive room, with its whizzy compact shelving! An exciting few days, rewarding, but pretty tiring!

Earlier in the week I had been at Market Harborough Museum, where they are in the last stages of planning an exhibition focussed on Loughborough’s Ladybird Books. Interestingly, Melton Carnegie Museum is also playing host to a Ladybird exhibition! Must be the season for it! Reminded me of the wonderful exhibition they had at New Walk Museum in Leicester a few years ago, and the Ladybird illustrators exhibition at Nuneaton Museum a few years before that, and our very own Andrew Everitt-Stewart, Ladybird Book illustrator many years before that!!

Not much else to report this week, as I’ve done very little research or writing that’s shareable!

Pop back to the blog again tomorrow, where hopefully you’ll find an entry for the letter ‘M’! No idea what it’s going to be yet though!!
