Absolutely stellar #archeaology at #FlagFen - a remarkable 3,500 year old Bronze Age site. I’d wanted to go here for years and it didn’t disappoint even on a chilly February afternoon.

Choose 20 books that have stayed with you or influenced you. One book per day for 20 days, in no particular order. No explanations, no reviews, just covers.

(Final choice is the first book I can remember reading as a kid for pure enjoyment.)
