In light of the recent research from @durotrigesdig.bsky.social and the team, I had a little wander to salute women of the Iron Age ( I actually got kicked out of the Maternity ward at St Thomas’s)

A lot of people will tell you we're a Roman Palace.

We are in fact a moon-sized super-weapon capable of destroying a planet.

The UK is spending £369m refurbishing Buckingham Palace for King Charles, who has £22bn and gets £500m more a year.

He can pay for his own renovations, £369m is more than England spends on building Social Housing in an entire year for the whole country.

What an incredible morning on the Moor yesterday! After a 5am start, & a tough hours walk through deep snow, I just made it to Belstone Tor for sunrise (photos soon!). It was so beautiful and I had the place to myself!
On the hard walk back to the car, I stopped off at Nine Maidens Stone circle...
