Rejuvenating little walk on the Yorkshire Wolds Way near Welton today. Raikes' mausoleum, built 1818, was sealed up in the 1960's after it was desecrated and a skull stolen. The skull was found near the Humber estuary. #eastyorkshire #humber #trees

I've started repacking the religious objects in the River Wear Collection. Here's a medieval lead ampulla (c. 13th-15th century) with scallop shell design. It would have held holy water, a souvenir bought by a pilgrim visiting Durham. stories.durham.ac.uk/riverwear

My first thought: "I need that cat." 👀 My second thought: "What's the best collection of Algernon Blackwood's works that's available on ebay right now?"

"You wouldn't steal a car, would you?" "You wouldn't steal the Library of Alexandria, would you?"

Re-watched 'Basic Instinct', it'd been a while (20 years?). So, so good. Very jealous of Catherine Tremmel's literary career and cliff-side villa. I forgot Assistant Director Skinner is in it. Best and worst knitted fits:

Happy Valentine's Day 🖤 I went to Hartlepool! I wanted beautifully haunting industrial edgelands and I wasn't disappointed #hartlepool #oilrig

I'm loving the Girls, Guts and Giallo podcast. I started with the Candyman episode 🐝🐝🪝 pca.st/episode/74a4... TIL Eddie Murphy was the original choice for Candyman #horrorfilms #clivebarker #bees

I've got an urge to visit the edgelands of Hartlepool this week. Any tips? I want beautifully desolate landscapes and an unnerving low hum. Where's best to park up and have a wander? #edgelands #psychogeography #drift

What's in the box? 😍 Assorted medieval and post-medieval religious objects found in the River Wear, Durham! Find out more as I repack and catalogue these in the coming months. Part of the River Wear Collection @ducollections.bsky.social #archaeologyarchives #riverarchaeology #durham #ukarchaeology

A pylon's crackle and hum made me look up and snap a photo. The branches and lines created ideal contrast and definition for my first experiments with gel printing. More experiments to follow!

Here are my games of the year for 2024! #GOTY
