I was privileged to attend the first guided tour after covid of the City of London's Guildhall this last week. An amazing medieval building, dating back to 1440.

Beginning to make use of the skills I picked up (and tools I bought) last year. Still work in progress as the weather got the better of me. But this used to be a silver birch branch that I cut on the geoconservation day with the @ougeolsoc.bsky.social at Riddlesdown Quarry last autumn.
