The Daily Not-Rothko is the line in the fallen leaves made by the wind from passing cars

Useful! That kind clay takes a heck of a lot of drainage, and, crucially, you gotta have somewhere to drain to, and that don't include the neighbours' garden or the road out front...
The Daily Rothno is a wall and pavement in Newnham
#WallsOnWednesday Trumpington as an alternative Daily Rothno
Yes, that would suit, 1000, or 900, something around there, heck of a lot of massive changes going on. We need to know more about linen though, and what that potential change in crop and field patterning would have meant, and entailed. So much to learn, so little time...
Yeah, cheers, I'll have a natter with Mark
But what would your best guess be?
Ha! I never thought it was straightforward, that's why I asked you!
Nasty, have spent a good amount of my life shifting vast quantities of wet clay with a mattock and shovel, it was never much fun, and I blame it for a good deal of my late-in-life brokenness
Ha! Bastard bloody autocorrect swine!

Lovely shovel! Ghastly soil!
