The view from my office window never fails to impress. Watching the wintry clouds scud across the sky above the Lakeland hills is glorious, but the added bonus of having the bronze age burial mound of Torrisholme Barrow in my eyeline makes it all so much more impressive. #prehistory

I'm currently on the train to Chester, listening to this (trying to drown out the stag party revellers 🥴) See you later!

Some full-on fangirling behaviour from me last week when I got to see Peter Buck play in the teeny weeny Ferret club in Preston. It was a fantastic (if sweaty 🥵) experience. We just need @millsish.bsky.social to pop over to the UK for a mini-tour (minotaur?) and all would be good with the world.

Finally made it to Balfarg Henge last month. It was worth the wait. Scotland does seem to "do" archaeology well, doesn't it? #urbanprehistory

Thoroughly enjoyed nodding off last night whilst listening to @theduncanmackay.bsky.social regaling me with his take on Boudica. Let's see what tonight brings.

Wee Jessie Bear and I are doing some hardcore holiday planning in the 🌞 We'll be based in Angus but also visiting Fife. Very excited that I'll finally get to witness the glory of Balfarg. Any other must-do sites I should see @urbanprehistorian.bsky.social ?

The last time I saw Marty Wilson-Piper he was on stage with @julianneregan.bsky.social & All About Eve. I always knew he was a good egg and here he proves that he also has exquisite taste in music 💙 @istevejansen.bsky.social #exitnorth #thomasfeiner #sweetbillypilgrim

Feb 2017. A blustery day spent on Bute to visit Ettrick stone circle, before heading back to Glasgow to witness the glory of the Archdrude himself. #StandingStoneSunday

I wonder how many people who visit the majestic Long Meg are aware of the equally fascinating (now ruined) Little Meg which sits in an adjacent field? The frost makes it easier to pick out the #rockart spirals. You can only imagine how spectacular this site once was. #standingstonesunday 📸 Jan 2024

I got to spend some time with Bingo the orphaned wombat at Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary, this week. She was absolutely gorgeous & very happy to snuggle up. To misquote Joe Strummer - Wombats Rock! 🤗

On #standingstonesunday I give you the greatest, and most circle-y, stone circle in England. The majestic #Sunkenkirk #Swinside circle in Cumbria.
