Things used in everyday life are the real archaeological treasures! These sewing #needles were made from animal bone some 15,000 years ago. Some designs simply don't need to be improved, because form and functions were perfectly matched from the start. Form follows function! 🧵1/2

One week on from my radioactive iodine treatment. It has not been a brilliant week. Tempted by the sunshine today however, I got myself over to Fawsley for a meander with my camera. Very, very tired now but what a joy it was to be out there again!

What an amazing document: a four-volume journal/sketchbook/scrapbook kept by Jacques Gogois, a French child in Amiens, during the First World War.
The first volume begins in 1914, when Jacques is seven years old.

It also includes 9 year old Benjamin Evans who was admitted following an accident from a tram falling on him. Mary Haggerty and her 1 hour old child were admitted having been found confined in a field; and Ann Williams and Jane Burke are described as being “very large in the family way.”
