I have had so much fun learning more than teaching this year! #archaeology #nextgen #youngarchaeologists
I took a decision this time last year to do a bit of a reset on my life. To focus on a healthy work/life balance, & find time for things that nourish my soul. One of the opportunities I will forever be grateful for is gaining the energy & availability to engage like this! #archaeology #education

Slightly flabbergasted as to how well the 1st of the month cinnamon spell has worked this time. Walked into work and emailed Payroll to confirm acceptance of my contract extension. Two hours later advised of a promotion. And tonight three training sessions booked in next year for the side business!

I played Bramble the Mountain King last year and just fell in love with the aesthetic of it. Now the winter nights are arriving looking for similar. Any recommendations for anything similar? Currently looking at Spirit of the North.

Had a glorious weekend at Avebury, then today we went to watch Bridgerton, batch cooked my meals for the week. And made homemade Apple and Rosemary Jam. Now settled in for a lovely candlelit evening with figs, honey, ricotta and red wine.
