This is fantastic!
Especially loving your Hanging Grimston plan with bonus dove 🕊️ . I know the site well and work closely with Marcus J - I’ll show him this when we’re both in the office later this week
Fab! 🤩
Did you see these @artefactual.eurosky.social ?!
It seems making dormice in leaf baskets are soothing my anxious stress and worry waiting for solicitors to do something and the house move chaos of will we won’t we move next week or not.
This one is on the new collection page if you’d like a little dormouse to sooth your worries too.
I love this! Spreading the gospel 😉💚
Love this, hachure klaxon! There should be more archaeological drawings on things, for sure ❤️
Nightingales are in. 28 singing makes at last count at @the-wildlifetrusts.bsky.social reserve at Fingringhoe, Essex. #Nightingales #SpringHasArrived #SpringBirds
Ye olde press release shows it was a Millennium project 🤩, opened in Dec 1999!

Yes! Though I haven’t ridden a jot in a couple of years, and my bike is currently in my folks garage…
(I am a walker at heart, so my cycling is wobbly and cautious, but I do enjoy the freedom and distance - perhaps this is the prod I need to retrieve my wheels and reacquaint myself 🚴♀️🪐…!)
I went to Pluto and back a few times in lockdown for sanity-cycles, and regularly walk the first bit to Naburn in summer with pals 🪐
It’s great! Loads of Yorkies get their kids into cycling using the ‘solar system path’. Starts near the York ring road at the Sun, ends at Riccall with Pluto, with the Cassini craft along the way. Part of the York-Slelby national cycle trail

Aerial view of a medieval church and cemetery in a lush green countryside, with a stone wall enclosing the area. The sun is setting on the horizon, casting a warm glow and illuminating the sky with vibrant colours. Scattered clouds enhance the scenic and tranquil atmosphere.

It's the ponytail braid that's sending me
It wasn't the official suit photo
or the group pic
or the patch
It was a backlit pic of a braided ponytail
just like mine
floating in
zero gravity
that made it real
for me

Signal boosting this one - the deadline is 10th April so you still have time to get an application in if you're interested!
Hi C, ah sorry, I genuinely had no idea, thanks for prodding me - I can’t open/see any DMs or who has sent them because I chose not to give private data (DOB etc) to the platform.
Bear with me, I can email you my mobile number for text/WhatsApp if that’s any good? B
Did a full week of this at Beverley Minster as a yoof. We had to wear papersuits & heavy-duty respirators at all times. Shifted A SKIP of pigeon guano + other fire-hazard crud out of the ballast pockets over the ceiling vaulting & from upper levels bell tower staircase. Even found human leg bone 😳
A view through blossoming fruit trees towards an old stone farmhouse built of mellow Oxford Stone. In the pearly sky the first swallows dart about.

A bright blue bus is on a road curving past the ruins of an ancient stone structure, which appears to be Byland Abbey. The sky is partly cloudy, and lush greenery surrounds the area.
A blue bus travels along a country road in a quaint village. To the left, there is a pub with outdoor seating featuring green umbrellas. Stone buildings with red-tiled roofs line the street, and a red car is parked nearby. Lush greenery and trees surround the area.
All aboard the Moorsbus 🚌
Back for its 45th year, making it easier than ever to explore the North York Moors from York, Hull, Darlington, Northallerton, Middlesbrough and Scarborough.
Swap the car for a scenic journey this Easter weekend. Find routes and timings by visiting moorsbus.org.
NASA's Blue Marble picture of Earth, from 1972
It's only worth going back to the Moon if it makes us look properly again at Earth, and appreciate how beautiful, precious and fragile what we have here is. The most famous images from Apollo aren't about the Moon - they're pictures of Earth. We need to stop taking our home for granted.
Oh great, I will do. And I’m keen to see what others suggest too - I don’t write, but I do enjoy.
Is there anywhere that signposts more of your own poetry work? (I have The Book of Bogs 💚)
Haha, yes!
Oh ace! And ah, I’ve just had a penny-drop moment and realised who I was responding to and how much you will of course already know all that I mentioned in previous posts (a slow brain day here 🥴)
I hope others respond richly
7/n …I think that’s my ideas well dried up for now. But I’d love to see what others’ suggest. I hope your request proves fruitful!

I wonder if any of the truly beautiful poetry volumes from the @longbarrowpress.bsky.social were written by archaeologists…? 🤔

Genevieve Carver is a brilliant poet and performer. Former archaeologist (and yes from that clan of archaeological Carvers), lots of wonderful work to read, watch, listen too. Not on archaeological topics, but you can often see its influence in her words.
