I haven't been asked, but if they do I can promise that I will be very honest about where they can stick that idea!

The whole thing smells to me like when you let your two year old hold your aged dog's lead. They think they're being given huge responsibility and trust, you know it is entirely irrelevant...
That is very exciting news, here's hoping Lincolnshire might be one of the early counties to be released!
Happy New Year to you too!
Or today Nun Cotham, it's up near Brocklesby, and was Cistercian for at least some of its history arts.st-andrews.ac.uk/monasticmatr...
Could it be Nuncotton?
A snowy scene, taken at night, of a triangle of roads with six trees in the middle, and old farm buildings on each side. The side roads are covered in snow - as is the grass - but the main road in the foreground is mostly clear
Well it's 11 o'clock at night but it's snowing for the first time this year so I couldn't help sneaking out to enjoy it. The snow is really odd - soft and fluffy but weirdly dry in the hand, even when you take a handful back home to show the rest of the family!
Hmm, given they've blocked access it would be pretty reasonable, if it's a particular article(s), to put a shout out to ask if anyone has a copy - I know I have 'one or two' saved in Zotero...
Thank you very much for reporting it!
Pesky East Midlanders that we are...
Hmm, now that you mention it, I'm struggling too. I can log in fine from the website, but then trying to click on an article to actually read it I hit the pay wall...
These guys make amazing music, and this one is in aid of a really great cause. Please do support them however you can afford to! And then go and check out their inspired songs...
@thelongestjohns.bsky.social have a beautiful song called Fire and Flame about it. Worth a listen...

A mud and stud cottage with lovely daubed walls, thatched roof and brick plinth. It looks really inviting and makes you want to go in through the door and explore.
I'm absolutely delighted to share that I have just been appointed Project Officer for Lincolnshire County Council's new Mud and Stud project. Really looking forward to getting stuck into the first proper county-wide study of its indigenous building technique!
I hope you're already aware of this, but if not it might explain all! youtu.be/R5TTA4f7Q3E?...
A surprisingly close-up photo of Selby Town Hall's stage, with various guitars, banjo, drum kit and fiddle. Just missing some Ponies!
Really looking forward to @elponypisador.bsky.social in Selby tonight - and we got front row seats!
Not long now - really looking forward to speaking at Counting Chimneys tomorrow!
Can't wait to see you in Selby! Suuuuu
@romanpalace.bsky.social are a ray of sunshine every day
Picture shows a mud and stud smokehood exposed when the thatch was removed. It is made of timber and earth walling, but has been cut off below the ridge line. It originally served two fireplaces. The rafters and ridge-piece are much altered, but bits of the reed under-lining of the ceiling within survive
Really looking forward to speaking at the 'Counting Chimneys - The Hearth Tax in Lincolnshire' conference on the 25th. Everyone is welcome, book in now! www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/counting-c...
Me too - bad gateway error here too sadly
A photo of a row of apparently-brick cottages with thatched and wiggly-tin roofs. Actually a row of mud and stud cottages, with thatch under the wiggly-tin. A cobbled pavement in front of the cottages and a grey sky complete the picture
An absolutely pleasure to speak to Bracebridge Heath U3A today about mud and stud, and a delight to be speaking to Horncastle History & Heritage Society tomorrow evening - in the heart of Mud & Stud country!
Hmm, that's rubbish, we're further north in the county, but that shouldn't have made a difference. Apparently your phone needs to be Android 11 or iOS14.5 or later for it to work though
All 3 in our house went off simultaneously, we're all on O2 with fairly new phones though
Really enjoyed the first episode of @timeteam.bsky.social's latest excavation series - having really enjoyed volunteering as a test-pitter last year. Can't say I remember those finds though 😄. Next episode is out tomorrow...

I wish I had been able to go on a weekend like this when I was an undergraduate. If you've ever wondered about the houses of ordinary folk in history, or (if you know me) wondered what it is that I actually get up to, then book in and have an amazing weekend in Oxfordshire!
Mr P says that his choice would be 'Beware, for he is imbued with the power of Four ombudsmen'. Extra points if there are four relevant logos on it!
Absolutely devastated to learn today that Pete's Eats in Llanberis has gone the way of all things. It's been an (admittedly less frequent than I would like) part of my life forever, and now there's no point finishing the Welsh 2000s if I can't finish in Pete's Eats!
Adequate!!
