Was asked Google what you can buy for £3: "small treats like chocolate bars, sticky notes, lip balm, single-serve snacks, or discounted versions of toys and novelty items" Personally we'd rather go for "the best lecture you're ever likely to attend". 👇

You would have thought my son would have understood tv a bit better than this (but he’s only 11). We’re watching tonight’s Islands episode together at home while I cook dinner - and he just asked me… “Is this live?”

The Devil's Quoits, Oxfordshire. Henge & stone circle dating from the late Neolithic/Early Bronze Age. Levelled as part of a WWII runway construction the Quoits were restored between 2002-8. Stones were re-erected & missing stones replaced & the surrounding earthworks rebuilt. #StandingStoneSunday.
