The wonderful thing about blogging is it lays out a platform for prediction, then lets you see everything in glorious hindsight later on. I’m finding it hard to believe the things I believed. Because now I believe something else. When […]
It seems everything gets bigger and more complex – including this project. For the Ness of Brodgar this means both enlarging trenches to discover more archaeology, and amazing advances in technology. Today I revisited a particular viewpoint at the upper […]

I don’t mean to brag, but we’re on holiday. The inlaws have come to stay with us for a few days and are on book reading duty for the kids as per their demands. My eldest picks up this book. […]
I’m on holiday and doing my best not to ‘work’ whatever boundaries of ‘work’ and ‘non work’ there may be. I bought The Woman Who Walked Into Doors from Whitby Oxfam and am half way through now, at the time […]
There was no digging yesterday due to the storms – so a chance to work at home on the film, editing sound. It’s a very slow process, sifting through recordings to find the few moments that make the best contribution […]
