Or is it actually a tiny shovel?

That spade looks unusually small?

They know who has the money they need, but they are too weak to after it.

Down in Hampshire, and while I'll mainly be office bound, I'll be looking oot and aboot for archaeology sites and bird sightings. Any recommendations gratefully accepted

@garyseconomics.bsky.social apparently Rachael Reeves is looking for 'heavy weight' economists to help with the budget. Has she called you yet?

It's handy to stop over before an early flight from Stansted

Troubling? Worse. They don't see the terrible consequences coming down the road. Pathetic. Criminally pathetic? We'll see.

I've not noticed. It's archaeology and nature for me

Superb. Thank you Miles. I'd be keen to know, as I'm sure you all are, how the enclosures associate in a relatively short archaeological period. Good work and my highest compliments to the team this year. A fantastic dig.

So what is the theory on that orientation? Or to be blunt, what's the crack with the angle?

#NEbirding a fairly hum drum day was much enlivened on the drive home. Between Woodhorn and Hadston I clocked buzzard, kestrel and marsh harrier.

I'm intrigued by the sharp 90 degree ditch heading east.
