It has been wonderful to see the recent surge in writing about our relationship to our ancient past. Three I have enjoyed recently are Upon A White Horse by Peter Ross, Stone Lands by Fiona Robertson and Stories of the Stones by Paul Robichaud. 1/2 #StandingStoneSunday

This is the show @tatebritain is too thick to do - brilliantly achieved by a tiny museum in Berwick Upon Tweed instead. #DavidandGoliath @ObsNewReview

Whilst reading the excellent 'Upon a White Horse' by @PeterAlanRoss, I couldn't quite place why Burton Agnes was so naggingly familiar. It took a while before I twigged: on the wall are photos of little me and mum in front of Burton Agnes Hall, a GWR steam locomotive!

First time on the walls of Pisa and what a great way to see the city. Deserted up above the busy streets, a bargain at €5 for several kilometres. Do take water!

Replying to @SilverRoseWolf @PeterAlanRoss
And having now reached the end, I shall begin writing up the many notes I've made! Thank you, Peter, for such an evocative book - I could picture places from your descriptions, and feel the history at Vindolanda and Ness of Brodgar. A fitting conclusion to the 'Fox Trilogy'😊

Let’s not forget that even if England win against Norway on Saturday they will then immediately have to march 200 miles south and play France without so much as a hydration break
