💁🏻♀️ TIL: 🧵🪡 The nearly 70 m (230 ft) #BayeuxTapestry is an embroidered #linen cloth ending abruptly with the death of King Harold at the Battle of #Hastings, leaving scholars to wonder if a final coronation panel was lost.
Ahead of its #London debut, organizers launched a #competition asking #children to stitch their own hopeful ending. Winning classes earn a trip to see the #artifact and visit the #battlefield.

Into the final week of summer... or so the Met Office would have us believe.
A week today and the decree will be going out that it's the final day of the season that this year has been record-breaking, in terms of the amount of sunshine, warmth and the lack of rainfall.
However, for the avoidance of doubt, the season of summer doesn't officially end until the equinox, which this year falls on 23 September.
We can't stop the evenings drawing in, but we can bask in the season of summer for another four weeks or so.
Some good news for those wanting to see a splashdown, there is rain and somewhat cooler temperatures forecast, BUT, did I hear a mention of it warming up once again as we head into September?
Meanwhile, another 'blue skies' photograph and this is Seaton Sluice, Northumberland, just north of Whitely Bay – always good for a capture!

Steven Knight – „The Veil“ (Serie, 2024)Eigentlich ist diese Serie ein konventioneller Geheimdienstthriller, doch unter der Oberfläche läuft eine zweite Erzählung über Migration, über Kontrolle und über das permanente Sortieren von Leben in legitim und verdächtig. Das ist nichts für einen TV-Binge-Eskapismus, sondern Spiegel einer europäischen Realität. Mit Elisabeth Moss und Yumna Marwan. (ZDF, Wh.)

Perhaps J. Meade Falkner stood right here and, looking out from Fleet towards Chesil Beach, saw a similar sunset when he wrote *Moonfleet* at the end of the 19th century?
Good night, smugglers!

It's Greece, 1940. Not sunny vacation Greece: northern Greece, Macedonian Greece, Balkan Greece– it's the city of Salonika. In that ancient port, with its wharves and warehouses, dark lanes and Turkish mansions, brothels and tavernas, a tense political drama is being played out. 🙀🙀🙀
