Today I celebrate my 20,000th day on the planet. To explain, my 50th was during lockdown so I decided to celebrate another arbitrary milestone instead and today is it, 20,000 days since I was born - I am really looking forward to the cake later, all those candles to blow out…

December 13th 2017 - probably the most famous Car Park in the country becomes the most protected, as it is listed by Historic England as a scheduled ancient monument on this day in 2017, protecting it from future development and infringement from the surrounding built environment
