Spot on. I don’t really ‘love’ nature, as though it was something separate or just pretty to look at - it’s more that I know and feel that I’m part of it, part of the *real* world.

Do you use Historic Environment Scotland's data? If so you need to know that Canmore is being retired this June. Trove (www.trove.scot) is replacing it and is now online in beta. Please try it out and feedback your comments here: haveyoursay.historicenvironment.scot/heritage/470...

BREAKING: DEFRA asks England’s biggest landowners to come up with plans to restore nature. The new National Estate for Nature is a bold move by Labour, summoning landowners who own a tenth of the country to report on their stewardship. With comment from me: www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Neolithic folk! I’m running a teaching session next week with my Neolithic Honours class on ‘the future of Neolithic studies’. Where do you see Neolithic studies in 10 years’ time? What is the next big thing? Is your research cutting edge? All replies will benefit my students 😉 #NeolithicFutures

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F. 18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it. We made this website to tell our story: 18f.org

Learning from the past, contextualising long term change.... all in here. Plus commons which are one of my favourite biocultural landscapes

Snap! I did just the same that Sunday, but at #RHSHarlowCarr for horticultural uplifts, and Betty’s treats! Apt to share now for #NationalSnowdropDay (and as a timeline cleanse, because 😔)

Check this out!!! These birds are not starlings. They are jackdaws!!! Just filmed, mouth open, delighted. They’re now in their cedar roost on the seafront, chattering away and I’m standing underneath them in awe. HOW COOL ARE THEY!!?! Grins!! #Welsh #Jackdaws

Wouldn’t it be wonderful if all university libraries were able to do this for their adjacent local residents!

This week my employer of 17 years English Heritage announced 200 jobs lost, and my Alma mater Cardiff Uni announced 400 jobs lost. The planning system that protects our heritage and provides thousands of archaeology jobs is at risk, and Higher Education is in free fall more generally #ThisIsFine

The text alert just issued to everyone in the UK should have said: “prepare to batten down the hatches and splice the mainbrace! Storm Eowyn sighted!”
