Chipped into the crowdfunder for this and delighted it is in my hands in time for the sunnier days. The map captures all the green & blue spaces in Bristol. On the reverse is a whole bunch of inspiration for getting outside in nature. Get yours here: www.urbangood.org/products/bri...

"A state banquet? While he's bombing the hell out of Iran and people are dying all over the Middle East...?" David Dimbleby, journalist and presenter, argues against King Charles' planned state visit to the US in April. #Newsnight

@tessmachling.bsky.social 👍

Well now this is interesting. The forced march always seemed a bit far fetched, and it's unlike the Victorians to get stuff wrong. Hold your nose a bit for the academic involved though www.uea.ac.uk/about/news/a...

Beckford’s Folly: Fonthill Abbey, watercolour 1799 by JMW Turner for William Beckford, ‘England’s richest commoner’ (1760-1844), whose art collection included Bellini's Doge Loredan 1501, & Raphael's St Catherine c.1507. Turner, Bolton Libraries & Museums Bellini & Raphael, National Gallery London

@drtobydriver.bsky.social @stoneclub.bsky.social @reblambert.bsky.social @urbanprehistorian.bsky.social @suegreaney.bsky.social When the rain persists - indoors with some Welsh-leaning and considered, literary responses to the stones.🙂Not sure why only just catching up with this one, but 👍

@richardosgood.bsky.social @drtobydriver.bsky.social Really enjoyed tonight's Digging for Britain! 👍🙂 Sanctuaries on cliffs (1) Barry Cunliffe has said promontory 'forts' MAY not all be defensive (2) this 'persistent' place on Malta I happened across a few years back on hols. Fascinating.

#SarsenSunday @martynjb.bsky.social @artefactual.bsky.social @richardosgood.bsky.social @suegreaney.bsky.social @stoneclub.bsky.social Freezing cold but fun yomp over Fyfield Down on Thursday. Stukeley and companions look rather more comfortable, with coach and horses waiting for them bottom right!

Annual reminder of how many days there are in each month.

Happy 92nd Birthday, Tom Baker! You're 'my Doctor' always. #TomBaker

Cow Tools. OMG.

Come hell & high water I am shoehorning this Livy quote into my WIP. It's too delicious. "The year was marred by omnious signs, fires blazed in the sky, there was a violent earthquake & a cow talked - there was a rumour that a cow had talked the previous year but nobody believed it"

@drtobydriver.bsky.social so, the 2027 TdF stage3 is going over the Rhigos!

#HillfortWednesday @richardosgood.bsky.social @martynjb.bsky.social @drtobydriver.bsky.social Recent photos up Sidbury Hill hillfort on the Salisbury Plain Training Area. The last 2 show clearly the Bronze Age "double linear" earthwork meeting the NW corner of it.

Stark and otherworldly - sunset at Mitchell’s Fold, the Bronze Age stone circle on Stapeley Hill. I got this shot at the tail end of a blizzard, when the sky took on a golden glow that made a spectacular contrast with the snow-covered landscape. It was every bit as cold as it looks. #Shropshire

Well, if it’s 31 December, it’s... yes, of course: 172nd anniversary of the dinner Benjamin Waterhouse Hawkins, creator of the Crystal Palace dinosaurs, gave for 21 leading academics and other VIPs inside the Iguanodon

@martynjb.bsky.social @richardosgood.bsky.social @artefactual.bsky.social @suegreaney.bsky.social @stoneclub.bsky.social This morning's dawn on the West Kennet Avenue - who knew double-yellow lines could look pretty! Some sarsens were later involved.

@weborguk.bsky.social Needs a big screen to view. Tested a light pollution filter on my camera and managed to catch a Geminid meteor near the Pleiades yesterday evening (4 secs exposure). Seems to work!

@stoneclub.bsky.social @englishheritage.bsky.social @archaeol-winscutt.bsky.social @martynjb.bsky.social @suegreaney.bsky.social Stonehenge 1892 Bingley Photo (V&A). No Larkhill to get in the way!

157 years ago, on the 9th of December 1868, the world's first traffic lights were installed outside the Palace of Westminster in London. It used semaphore arms during the day and green/red gas lamps at night. It had to be operated by a constable. It exploded on January 2nd 1869. #otd #history 🗃️

@amandachadburn.bsky.social @mikegill.bsky.social @englishheritage.bsky.social @archaeol-winscutt.bsky.social @artefactual.bsky.social I came to catch the (nearly full) moonrise, but all I got was this🙁

« Ui, bonjour, prends ma monnaie »

This poem is dedicated to anyone making a start on their advent calendar today.

@tessmachling.bsky.social worth a peek!

#TombTuesday @drtobydriver.bsky.social @stoneclub.bsky.social @suegreaney.bsky.social @richardosgood.bsky.social late entry. Pentre Ifan from a few weeks ago. The striations across the right of the capstone are the rain skidding past ☔
