Happy Chinese New Year - a little late but my Fire Horse was inspired by a pony I met on Ashdown Forest so it can't keep up with the bigger ones!

Nearly missed tonight's #DrawingDiggingForBritain - fascinated by the analysis that showed that a stone hand tool was used for grinding tin.

Thank you. Ferns are one of my favourite things. The ones that came out of the mine are so like the ones in our garden.

Drawings of Woodpigeon, Blackbird and Thrush with list of birds.

My @RSPB #BigGardenBirdwatch is done. Fewer small birds because I am not using feeders this year but an absolute pleasure to see 6 Blackbirds and a Song Thrush raiding the little Crab Apples from our tree. Uckfield, Sussex.

The scabbard was stunning - and I could just see the guys smoking away while throwing dice and drinking beer.

#DrawingDiggingForBritain I gasped when they slid the Roman bone box lid open. I could imagine the Roman lady or her servant using the ointment that was thought to be inside.

Drawings of iron Carnyx, boards head; Wooden ladder, stone kiln etc.

So much to see in tonight's #DrawingDiggingForBritain - Athough the Carnyx and Boar's head standard were magnificent, my favourite find was the wooden ladder at Sizewell.

I had assumed that these early ones were from the channel islands but the Cornwall daffs are obviously ready.

Thank you. I've promised myself that I will try and make a comb pattern. I thought the variety of finds really shows the sophistication of the people's lives

I think it is a mixture of the "heat island" effect and soil disturbance where building or other works are going on.
