@the_stone_club A lifetime ago, must have been around 1980, when I was a young illustrator myself, I had a very nice chat with Roger when he gave a talk at the Association of Illustrators in Piccadilly. His work is eternally wonderful and I hadn’t seen this one before, so thanks for posting!

@ValleyPriest @giles_fraser Kew Gardens is one of my favourite places in the whole world. As a boy, I used to walk the gardens alone at least twice a week, back when it cost an old penny to go through the unmanned turnstiles. Shame the high entry cost these days makes it inaccessible to young nature-lovers.

@HerbsandDirt I was a chronic asthmatic, ventolin inhalers hadn’t been invented, treatment was belladonna and effedrin. Also had terrible skin problems, not diagnosed as dairy intolerance until my twenties. Medical science has evolved a lot in half a century.

@Thomas55242 @VisionaryVoid @fasc1nate I wonder how many people actually got that reference?!

@AlisonHussey_ Could be a large grey pinion

[Prof Alice Roberts💙 @theAliceRoberts]

I can second this!

@MaryNT16 @labisiffre As a boy in the 60s I had a paper round. There were two of these signs on my route.

Our Biggest, Bestest & Bronze Agest axe casting workshop ever!

Workshops we've previously run give participants the chance to cast an axe from just a few types, but this workshop has 8! Each have their own story & place in the Bronze Age timeline.

I’ve just watched the tremendous film “Epic Megalithic Journey through Britain and Ireland: Standing Stones” by @PrehistoryGuys and was moved to tears by @RupertSoskin ‘s closing comments over a stone button.

@NTGates Thanks Nick, the whole team deserve more credit really!

[Rupert Soskin @RupertSoskin]

@NTGates Another wonderful episode. Which of the team filmed the Large Blue life cycle? It was a fantastic piece of work!

@TimothyJonas That's a super image!

@madjanev @BertB61027155 @KWalach_ Wow, that's amazing to see. Finding eggs of the tiniest things is bordering on miraculous at the best of times. Do you know the approximate diameter of a single egg?
