Always been a fan of the Welsh Wonder to be honest... Tidy!
Ok but this is totally something Charlotte Church would do
Just realised this is referring to a church in North Carolina and not the Welsh singer

This would be a very different film if it was made in #Orkney 😂🤣👰♂️⛪️🥂🍺
Watched The Blackening last night for the first time... it was SO good.
I'm very much a comedy over horror girlie, so it was right up my alley.
It's not just your typical parody. Incredibly well done 🙂↕️

A great summary of a shocking and deeply worrying decline of a once beloved institution. From the awful behaviour of senior managers to the not fit for purpose replacement of Canmore, an essential archaeological and heritage tool (and yes the purple absolutely sucks). Fingers crossed things improve.

Fascinating new interpretation of Buckquoy at Orkney's Bay of Birsay. Dating may put the entire occupation in the pre-Scandinavian Pictish period, and/or perhaps supports ideas of a long & complex transition. I can't wait to look over the bird assemblage data again in this light.
