I just saw this article about UK heritage sites and #museums closing: https://www.theguardian.com/culture/2022/dec/31/uk-castles-museums-theatres-close-energy-prices?CMP=share_btn_tw

I'm not in the UK, but this still saddens me deeply. I know that energy costs are making life hard for everyone, and losing these cultural heritage sites is one more blow. Regions' own cultural histories are treasures. I admit that my love of #castles is coming into play here, but other aspects too that help people today better understand the past and how we reached today are so important.

Rising costs have led to staff redundancies and curtailed opening hours as nine out of 10 sites fear they could close permanently

@dianemagras We're losing so much. The whole country is coming apart at the seams.

@PGBellWriter It's heartbreaking. I see it happening in so many ways. I hope that somehow things will come back together before it's too late.
