Ahoy there!  Welcome to this week's instalment of 'Blog Post Monday'.

Now, I'm confused and I need your help.  With the end of the year fast approaching and with that, the start of a fresh new one, I'm wanting to make some changes to what my dedicated followers receive as 'Source Social' members, as well as the content that I'm creating for your eyes and ears...  With this in mind, I need your help and advice on what you would like to see from me.

So, as always, get that kettle on and get your thinking caps on, as we put our heads to together to come up with a new and improved 'Source Social' experience...

Ahoy there mateys!  Welcome to this week's instalment of 'Blog Post Monday'.

I had my idea for this week's blog post all ready to go and then, while browsing the web this morning, I came across an article which was so fascinating that I've changed my mind completely!  I just had to write about this instead!

So, as always, get that kettle on, get your garlic cloves and stakes out, as we go hunting for vampires in the 18th and 19th centuries...

Welcome to this week's instalment of 'Blog Post Monday'.

I saw a video on TikTok this week that has ended up going viral.  It was about a fascinating find that someone had online, but when they received it, they got far more than they'd bargained for...  Speculation about who had once owned this piece spread like wildfire, thus, the subject of this week's blog post was born.

So, as always, get that kettle on and those of a nervous disposition should probably look away, as we discuss some of our spookiest and most disturbing antique finds...

Ahoy there and welcome to another instalment of 'Blog Post Monday'. 

It just so happens to be 'Yorkshire Day' today and the morning after the heroics performed by our English women's football team last night!  A bit of a tenuous transition here, but, by gum I feel lucky to live in Yorkshire and I feel very lucky to have witnessed an England football team finally winning something....  And, this brings me on to the subject of this week's blog post.... Lucky finds at car boot sales that have made a pretty penny!  I told you it was a very tenuous transition...

Anyway, I read an article about an item that appeared on the Antiques Roadshow the other night.  A tiny little gold ring, bought for £90 from a car boot sale and subsequently valued on the show at £2,000...!  Lucky bugger, I thought...  Whilst I'm still waiting for my life changing find, I have found a couple of little treasures which have turned a nice little profit... not life changing... but it meant that I could eat chips AND rice, folks, chips AND rice...!

So, as always, get that kettle on and queue that pompous Antiques Roadshow music, as we take a look at some of my luckies car boot sale finds...

Well, hello, and welcome to this week's instalment of 'Blog Post Monday'.

This week on my travels I saw something in an antiques store that made me chuckle.  Described as a 19th century glass dump, this piece took on a phallic shape and within the body of it was something that I can only describe as resembling a wave of white tadpoles... I think you get the gist...!  Anyway, me being me, I got home and started doing some research and I happened to stumble across the fascinating world of antique sex toys.  They range from the unusual to the damn right uncomfortable and I thought (for some reason) it would make for an interesting blog post.  I mean, after all, sex sells, right...?

So, have a stiff one to hand... a DRINK that is... I meant a stiff DRINK... and maybe have a cold shower, as we take a look at the fascinating world of antique sex toys...
