This must be the biggest bass guitar we’ve ever seen on the Roadshow. But does anyone know where it came from – and what it was for?
Took a couple of cars along to the Atwell-Wilson Classic Vehicle Show in Calne today. A big turnout on a very hot day with a great selection of vehicles and some lovely chatty owners! @AtwellWilson
Looking forward to being in conversation with John Harris as part of the Frome Festival. His book really resonated with me. A must for music lovers. All events and tickets at fromefestival.co.uk
Did you realise that if you pay your utilities bills with a company that collects with GoCardless, you are not eligible for cash back? So, my Octopus payments - for instance - do not collect whereas my council tax does. Why should this be the case? It seems unfair.
Bought a wrap at a well known London museum cafe the other day. I’m still trying to get my head around the ingredients list, in the light of trying to avoid ultra processed food. 😳
The beautiful Iford Manor with is stunning gardens (local to me) has been robbed of some of its iconic sculptures. Please contact Crimestoppers or your local police if you have any information on these items. Thanks. 🙏
Awesome gig at The Lexington tonight - John McKays Reactor!!! Classic Banshees written by the great man himself and new material too. The maestro of dissonant chords made into the perfect musical cacophony. Brilliant! #JohnMcKay #Punk #Banshees
Muntjac deer in the churchyard next to my house in town! Never seen this before. Hope the poor thing can find a way back into the fields down the river course! #chippenham
A few Saxons in the town centre this evening marking the unveiling of a blue plaque for King Alfred the Great’s historic presence in Chippenham. #chippenham #alfredthegreat
Great fun raising money this evening for Public Art Chippenham with an auction of over 50 lots of artwork donated by local artists. A wonderfully successful evening which will help to brighten up the town with original murals and artworks. @publicartchipp #art

Today we filmed @BBC_ARoadshow at Stephen’s House & Gardens, the grand residence of Charles ‘inky’ Stephens whose ink empire made him very wealthy. He generously left the house and gardens in his will for the enjoyment of the public, which we all did today!!🙏 @stephenshouse
Tonight’s Antiques Roadshow is a new episode from Belfast Botanic Gardens where I get to talk about something rather otherworldly! BBC1 7.15pm 25th May (Earlier time) #antiquesroadshow
Enjoyable day at Prescott Historique and liking this race-ready Jensen Healey with about 240bhp under the bonnet. Great also to catch up with @aohe As always, doing great work for the classic motoring world. @PrescottHClimb @BugattiTrust
Prescott Historique this weekend and just trying to decide what ride to go in…. @BugattiTrust @PrescottHClimb @aohereng
Today was the first show of my 28th year on Antiques Roadshow. Lots of interesting items, a plethora of poignant and emotive stories, lots of lovely people too. All in the surroundings of Shuttleworth House complete with a Spitfire fly past. @ShuttleworthTru @BBC_ARoadshow
