@richardosgood.bsky.social @drtobydriver.bsky.social Really enjoyed tonight's Digging for Britain! πŸ‘πŸ™‚ 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.

The Tale of the Toad Stone The Toad Stone lives in the Valley of Stones in Wiltshire (England). Before you visit, hear a little ofΒ the Toad Stone’s story. Scroll quickly enough, and you will see the Toad Stone walk out…

Thirty days hath September,
April, June and November.
Unless a leap year is its fate,
February hath twenty-eight.
All the rest hath three days more,
excepting January,
which hath six thousand,
one hundred and eighty-four.

Reminds me a bit of my favourite this even more idealised rendition of 1774 by Thomas Jones inc. a Welsh Bard (c) national museum of Wales πŸ™‚ Your course looks fantastic!

Meet Veronika, the tool-using cow Veronika uses sticks to scratch herself, suggesting scientists have underestimated cow cognition...

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"

#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.

some ghostly days waiting there! πŸ™‚ they've got the same problem with the Elizabeth Line (not many seats there) and I think they've come up with an arty stick-on solution.
