Likes old stuff. Likes talking about old stuff. Works in #heritage, #history and #archaeology. Always have done. Father.

I like being outside, #walking, #photography, #landscapes, #pubs and #beer.

I'm blogger of the broad landscape of archaeology, history and heritage: https://anhistoriersmiscellany.com/

I also take photographs of walls:

I've worked in quite a few historic buildings over the past 30 years, and underground tunnels... well they are all just myths aren't they? Escapes for Templar Knights, hiding illicit treasure, linking the monasteries and abbeys so the monks and nuns can have a good time (I presume reading books to each other).

But no, I was wrong. This one is really does have a tunnel.

19th and 20th century windows here in the City of London.

The "Walkie-Talkie" was just too big to get in little camera phone.

It was May Day yesterday. The inner pagan in me refused to engage with the digital world, so I am posting now.

Welcome #NewUser

If you are coming from Twitter, you understandably may feel like it is a lot quieter here. Mastodon is not "dead," but there is no #algorithm bombarding you with stuff. Here you develop your own user experience by searching out and following people and things that interest you. You can pretty quickly build a much more satisfying experience, but it takes a little effort. Following #hashtags is a good way to get started. Be patient and join in conversations.

Windows in need of a little TLC.
