It's been a good month, met a lot of nice people, got to dig up some Anglo-Saxons. Even got some cool and rainy weather today (finally!) while excavating my second skeleton.
![]() This skeleton is coming out very nicely, but it will not be lifted until I've left Thinking back, I've neglected to mention a few things: -the modern military jets that buzz the area almost daily, some so low that you can see the pilot; -the drinking of tea from cereal bowls; -how to time your shower so that you get one that's not scalding and not freezing; -the tat shop in Seahouses that everyone loves to rag on but buys stuff at anyway (a tat shop is one that sells really tacky souveniers or kitsch); -that all Paul's knives are named Mike; -the way that people love to play off Paul's media quote about those fabulous swords being "serious bling" and everything bringing out the "raw power of the past"; -that I finally found all the pictures Baby had hidden away in my luggage and packed clothes; -the cry of "pants" going round, causing each person in turn to briefly pull up and out the top of one's undershorts to show everyone else what color they are -they don't have Oreos here (a fact that I failed to notice in all my previous trips!) I hope you've enjoyed this journal, even if it did appear on the web in bursts. I'm off for a bit of travel now, and will leave you with the traditional final sunset photo. ![]() Read/Post Comments (2) Previous Entry :: Next Entry Back to Top |
