Tell me a fun fact.

Been told to stick with the Bayeux Tapestry, as it gets good about four yards in.
Breaking news for #FindsFriday 😮 Nothing like finding a 1999 Walkers crisp packet in a fresh firebreak cutting whilst examining wildfire damage in Powys today 👌🔥
Couldn’t resist posting another view of the ancient holloway. It’s part of a very old route from Gloucester to Cirencester called the Bisley Path.
Flint arrowheads from Dunston - an area of early settlement in the Northampton area. Dating from the Neolithic to the early Bronze Age, the arrowheads are part of the collections at Northampton Museum and Art Gallery. 📸 My own. #FlintFriday #Prehistory #Northamptonshire
Getting ready to pack all my jonkonnu costumes and a mannequin into my tiny car. Cross your fingers that everything will fit.
Bosham is one of only four English places named in the Bayeux Tapestry. Harold rides to its church before sailing for Normandy - and remarkably, Saxon fabric still survives in its chancel and tower. Explore this deeply layered place: ✨📸 👉 www.digest.andymarsh...
How do you store yours? I bought this as a detector finds storage/display for more modern common finds. It seems to have been over taken for teeth storage 🤣

Hey everyone, and particularly anyone involved in publishing. @slipperyjack.bsky.social . Tales Accursed was one of the victims of the Unbound Saga and is still without a publisher. After the copies are sold from his website, this book will be gone forever. slipperyjack.bigcartel.com/product/tale...
Oh, you like folklore? Name 5 folklores
Trimming 50 pages to fold into zines for this weekends event.
The Long Dark is currently 66% off on Steam, so I'll re-up my recommendation of it as a truly unique experience. No other game gives you the feeling of being alone in the Canadian wilderness, with the elements as your greatest foe. It's incredibly immersive, atmospheric and offers tons of depth.
Catching up on Ann Droid on the BBC — such a wonderfully funny, yet quietly poignant, sitcom. Wonderful performances and top notch scripts. Go find it wherever you can!
I'm doing an episode on the folklore of the northern lights so I'm curious! Has your family ever had a nickname for the aurora borealis? If so, where are you? Thanks in advance!

It's nice to be back on here. It's been a week, what did I miss?
Broke my phone and tried to get it fixed it to recover the data. Alas no fix yet... so I've given up and had to setup another phone. I hope it can be fixed because all the photos I took the other with while adventuring with @skullsandsheets.bsky.social are on there. And many more things. Alas.
Feels almost too relevant to my personality. And none of the questions shall be answered.
Found this on insta www.instagram.com/ghost_signs_... and yes, you should ask these questions after meeting me.
