Visited Abbey House Museum yesterday to catch the Curious Creatures exhibition about Victorian attitudes to the animal kingdom before it finishes on 31st Dec.
Some interesting bits in there about local circus entrepreneur Pablo Fanque. Here's a video about his life...

#December 16, 1775
#OTD Jane Austen, #English #Novelist, is born.

In the 1996 #Movie, #Emma #Woodhouse (#GwynnethPaltrow) writes in her #Diary:

"Today I tried not to think about Mr. #Knightley...
I tried not to think about him in the #Garden where I... plucked the #Petals off a #Daisy...
I don't think we should keep #Daisies in the garden. They really are a drab little #Flower.
And I tried not to think about him when I went to bed, but something had to be done."

The proposed #Woodhouse #Coalmine in #Cumbria is described as a £165m project. But where does that mean? Where does the £165m come from and to whom is it paid and for what?

Who stands to profit from the decision to open the #Woodhouse #Coalmine in #Cumbria, even if the mine never actually operates at a profit (or at all)? Where is the investment money coming from and to whom will it be paid?

From coal to nuclear. Mark Kirkbride, the chief executive of West Cumbria Mining, the outfit promoting the new #Woodhouse #Coalmine in #Cumbria, but owned by Australian / Cayman Island based EMR Capital, is also a member of the committee on radioactive waste management. Well, of course he is.
