On a childhood holiday, we saw Richard Kiel (of Jaws in James Bond fame) on a ferry from Ramsgate to Dunkirk.
He was in a part of the ship with a particularly low ceiling and had to duck a bit.

🏺 On #archaeology, the practice and meaning of it, as emotionally resonant & inspirational; reminds me of the affection and something more - wonder? reverence? - behind Detectorists, the soundtrack for that, and the musical connection through to Digging For Britain as Time Team's successor.

We did a LOT of stuff with the PPYO this year. I thought I’d share some of the best (although it’s all great obviously!).
First up, this, where we did lots of synth, radio and other noise. It’s pretty wild:

I’ll shut up about this for a bit now. But do have a listen to this album I made because I’m quite proud of myself for stepping out of my comfort zone and actually playing instruments and stuff.
For the latest folklore, facts and fables zine and cd (no.6!), I explore the best thing ever to be on telly; Time Team. Eight tracks dedicated to eight original team members plus an illustrated zine with a 1000 word essay on why I love it.
