And it's goodbye from him. Thanks for reading my tweets over the last few years. I retire tomorrow. You can find me out there on Twitter and on Linked-in (not that I really know how to use it!) if anyone wants to keep in touch.

@ARALearning We did our first ever Takeover Day a few weeks ago - Year 6 pupils took over one of our display spaces to show what they'd learned from the archives about WW2:
We did our first ever #TakeoverDay this week! Pupils from @WestgateBury learned about our #WW2 documents then took over one of our display boards to share what they’d learned @kidsinmuseums #archives

A few staff went out today for a 15 minute walk over lunch for @SuffolkMind #REDJanuary2020 and ended up using the outdoor gym @ChristchurchPk We are all trying to be more physically active to take care of our mental health. Little things can make a BIG difference.
