@tessmachling.bsky.social Bruce needs to shape up!😀

Been a while since I posted anything for #StandingStoneSunday, bit remiss of me. To make amends here a slice of Boscawen-un

Looking NE nr the solstitial alignment from the verge of the A303. Quiet at 0500hrs. Phew. 🙂

Yorkshire, indeed the world, has lost some of its colour today. Garrowby Hill, a Yorkshire landscape by David Hockney, 1998. So long, David.

There's probably never been a better time to remind you that when David Hockney first took his Mum to California she remarked 'all this lovely weather and nobody puts their washing out'.

@drtobydriver.bsky.social @durotrigesdig.bsky.social Hard to believe the steepness in the reconstruction image until you look at the contours! Quite a landscape feature - used to pass it en route to X-country skiing in the late '90s.

@drtobydriver.bsky.social Over on Facebook.

I’ll never forget watching The Wicker Man with my outer Hebridean mum. “I just don’t know where there got all that wicker from”

Somewhere Bismarck is looking down in confusion as Germany projects power by sending 4,000 pensioners, 12 buffet stations and a TUI loyalty program through the Strait of Hormuz

@drtobydriver.bsky.social blimey.

@suegreaney.bsky.social @martynjb.bsky.social @artefactual.eurosky.social any West Woods fans out there - the bluebells are very early this year, and the Long Barrow is being cleared of trees! 🙂

@public-history.bsky.social West Woods today. Bloomin hooligan.

#stonehenge #experimentalARCH #volunteers Great progress by the volunteers building the Neolithic Hall at the Visitor Centre. Wooden skeleton looking great before the daub and thatch conceal it. 👍

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

@reblambert.bsky.social Just noticed this. British Landscapes: A Sense of Place opens at Pallant House Gallery on Saturday 30 May 2026. pallant.org.uk/why-the-brit...

@richardosgood.bsky.social @artefactual.eurosky.social @martynjb.bsky.social @suegreaney.bsky.social Really excellent Piper exhibition at Wiltshire Museum (Devizes). Photos not allowed, but good colour repro in the catalogue. I give it 5 stars. 1/2 👍👍👍

#TombTuesday @richardosgood.bsky.social @martynjb.bsky.social 'Oldhat' Bronze Age Barrow (with ditch and outer bank - overall diam. 52 metres) catching some January sunshine! 🙂 nr Everleigh Ashes on the Salisbury Plain Training Area. Signs and posts in place to warn away military activity👍

@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

#Stonehenge #MidwinterSunrise @stoneclub.bsky.social @prehistoricsociety.bsky.social FINALLY, a completely clear sky for this morning's sunrise! Excuse the power-lines.
