So today we took the Monks Head to the local museum for research, the FLO lady asked if I wanted to bring anything else in… so we took about 35 bits and pieces in! Don’t think she was expecting that 😂 but it will be fab to get things logged and identified, as and when I get answers I will of...

We managed to get out for a few hours today, the ground is super hard everywhere so we headed to a usually boggy field just outside the village, the field has lots of natural springs, last time we came to this end the holes filled up with water as we dug, so digging was easy, but beeps were...

Wow, what a day! New field on the opposite side of the valley. We spent the morning having a look around as lots going on here. We have the Roman Road going thru, so went there first, but the grass was super long, and an electric fence running along it, so we came away and put it on the to do...
