A sketch of five human faces in outline
Well done to my lovely friends that presented #diggingforbritain - I end my #drawingdiggingforbritain sketches with a salute to them @toriherridge.bsky.social, Rosanna, Stuart, @megsdigs.bsky.social & (of course) @profaliceroberts.bsky.social
Don’t we live on an incredible isle eh? #archaeology
Was asked Google what you can buy for £3:
"small treats like chocolate bars, sticky notes, lip balm, single-serve snacks, or discounted versions of toys and novelty items"
Personally we'd rather go for "the best lecture you're ever likely to attend". 👇
Thank you so much!!💕
Check this out!! #drawingdiggingforbritain

We’re watching tonight’s Islands episode together at home while I cook dinner - and he just asked me…
“Is this live?”
Over the next few months our Winter Wonderland will be used to grow produce for our Roman feast!🫴🌱

The Devil's Quoits, Oxfordshire.
Henge & stone circle dating from the late Neolithic/Early Bronze Age.
Levelled as part of a WWII runway construction the Quoits were restored between 2002-8. Stones were re-erected & missing stones replaced & the surrounding earthworks rebuilt. #StandingStoneSunday.
