It was so lovely to meet you both to chat about heritage in Protected Landscapes. I was so excited to meet you IRL! Hope you had a safe trip home and here’s to more collaboration and conversations in the future.

Got in two hours of archery practice this morning. This end was going well until my last shot, when I lost focus and I moved my foot and dropped my shoulder. Consistency is tough, but so is losing focus and letting worry seep into a calm mind. Definitely need a bit more practice. 🏹🏹🏹

I think diversity of belief, culture etc under the umbrella of “Roman” is a valuable message.

Hey everyone, I have been asked to speak to a class of primary school children about the Romans. I have ideas about what I could cover, but wanted some reflections on what messages you’d think would be good to share. Any insights, let me know! #Romans #museums #learning #ancient

Trees consuming metal. Deer trails. Natures barrow builders. Mud. Leaves. Edgelands. Todays walk.

That’s Loki. As he gets older he appreciates a good nap so he doesn’t bug me to get up early anymore. She does instead 😊

Really hope to see sculpture from the Townley Collection (currently in closed off galleries) to be visible again.

Good summary (there’s a nice video display on this in room 2 at the moment (? the small one on the right of the front door for temporary exhibits)

The big man always has to have the last word. He’s good at gentle warnings when she is being annoying. #malamutes #alaskanmalamute

Do you know what the broken sword in this portrait represents? ⚔️ In this posthumous portrait of Richard III, the weapon that Richard holds against his left shoulder is doubtless intended to represent a sword of state - a symbol of royal authority with almost as much significance as the crown.

@antiquaries.bsky.social has a lovely collection of Samian “Pudding Pan” pottery, and if I remember rightly a little discussion about their discovery in the Minute Books.

That’s so funny! 😂 I am now imagining a hostage situation with a priest sobbing “I’ve been forced to ghost write a book!”

I know a lot of people think Margery would have been insufferable in real life, but I think she has a really cool vibe. Anyone who can be accused of heresy and just argue it out until everyone gives up is pretty badass. Plus all the travel she did!

Am hoping it helps. I find January and February tough months (and Christmas itself to be frank) so getting out feels like a chance to see the daylight and quieten the mind. Hoping I can keep it up! Happy new year to you and hope 2025 is joyful and kind to you.

I find this time of year very hard, so have been getting out for a daily walk. Living somewhere else, I am finding old paths in new places. Today I explore chalk pits, rope swings, railway bridges.

Yesterday’s walk a bit bleak but ended wandering around the churchyard, where every life is an unread story. One tragically, the grave of a boy killed by a fallen tree aged 7 in 1874. His parents write in sorrow “we leave our home in health and joy” a reminder we can never know what lies ahead.

Mum makes me two lovely floor cushions and as soon as they’re down, they’re skillfully modelled by Nanuk…. These may no longer be my cushions….

We have lost a concept in the West of liminal / nodal spaces and define power so differently today that the potential for place to be about gathering, transition, formation is forgotten.

There is an interesting contrast between Tacitus in 1st c saying Britain did not have the climate for growing grapes, and 3rd c edict Probus stating Gauls and Britains could grow them. What changed? Cultivation techniques? climate?
