Worrying! I'm guessing this is connected with local government organisation going on at present - but no detail on replacement structures. We need experienced archaeologists in these roles

π¨ We have heard that the County Archaeologist for Hampshire is being made redundant, with no plans to replace him. π¨
If you live in Hampshire please write to your MP and Councillors.
If you live elsewhere treasure and support your County Archaeologists, and stand by to protect them. πΊ
But also: 6am meeting?! WTF??!

My 14 year old daughter, Freya has made and listed some more candles on her Etsy shop, Flicker and Flowers (hosted by me): take a look if you're searching for a last minute Valentine's gift! She's upcycling tea cup candles, to fundraise for the 2027 World Scout Jamboree

Well, that was the longest January since records began: you might like to celebrate by donating to Freya's Jamboree Fund: she's working hard to raise funds - sewing on badges, pet sitting, and selling teacup candles through her Etsy shop.

Come work with me! It's the most fun I've had in years - lovely team, and an exceptional opportunity to explore submerged human landscapes
