Liking the sound of this!
Happy 2026 all! For my New Years resolution I will be spending the year making a monthly series exploring St. Anns Allotment in Nottingham through field recordings, conversations and film/music..

When you open up a rather ordinary looking rental from 1737 and the first thing you see is a lovely watercolour lying loose between the cover and the first page 😍

Golden #benchmark found at the roadside last weekend over on Gun Moor near Leek. Had a fantastic time out and about with the #ScientificRambles group, gathering ideas and inspiration for our forthcoming exhibition at the Silk Museum in Macclesfield.

I've been making these tinder bundles for about 10 years now, a nice alternative to chemical fire lighters and also quite relaxing to craft - each is a mixture of dry twigs, conifer etc with a birch bark topper.

Had a wander to 'Dingle Bank' recently, making the most of the sun - an interesting area with some curious bits and bobs, with a wonderful old benchmark on an ivy covered stone as a bonus.

On my wishlist for 2026 I think!

I recently said goodbye to Spotify after removing as much of my own material as I could, since then I've been really enjoying making the most of Bandcamp but I've also begun to realise what a strangle hold Spotify has - especially when it comes to 'linking' different platforms

Something for #standingstoneSunday

This is one of the larger stones at Beeley Warren circle (also known as Park Gate circle) - located on the moors near the Chatsworth estate.

Throughout December we’ll be celebrating ‘Festive Fridays’, sharing the most tenuous links to festive-themed archaeological sites in the care of the National Trust!
We’re starting with ‘Christmas Shaft’, an air shaft marked on the 1882 Ordnance Survey at Alderley Edge. bit.ly/3MbSqTI
