@GillianKeegan - I'm ashamed that our local MP is the minister for mental health. Mental Health provision in Sussex is a total scandal - and your party is to blame.

I'm often asked about the oldest objects I find and the answer is fossils. I picked these up over the last month, Most of the fossils I find on the foreshore are in flint. They probably came to the river in the chalk that was laid down on top of barge beds in the 18th and 19th c

My autochrome enhancements from Arabia have always proven popular, so I thought I would bring 4 of them together for you to enjoy. They were all taken 103 years ago, in March 1918, in the area now known as Jordan. Taken by Paul Castelnau, they are original colour (not colourised)
