@DrJEBall Thank you. Is there a lot of Roman glass there?

A delicate #Roman glass bird, in a lovely shade of cobalt blue: it would originally have held perfume.

A #Roman two-handled glass cup, in a beautiful cobalt blue with white chips on the outside for extra decoration. Those Romans really knew a thing or two about glassware!

Two beautiful #Roman glass dishes, one in blue-green glass with yellow swirls, the other made from deep purple glass with green, yellow, & red swirls. They were both made about 2000 years ago #Archaeology #RomanArchaeology #AncientGlass

The swifts are back! We've just seen three on our evening walk in Ely - the first time we've seen them in April. #swifts

Around 4,300 years ago, an ancient Egyptian artisan carved a little frog, a grasshopper, and a dragonfly.

Lovely details from nature depicted on a wall relief in the Tomb of Kagemni at Saqqara. Old Kingdom, Dynasty 6, c. 2345 - 2323 BC. Photo my own.

This detail comes from a scene of Kagemni fishing in the marshes. Fishing scenes were a common motif in elite tombs, showing one of the everyday activities to be enjoyed by the tomb owner in the afterlife.

I often try to imagine what the UK would be like today if Ed Milliband had become Labour Party leader and Rory Stewart Conservative Party leader.
No Brexit, no Truss, no Johnson, no Corbyn, no Sunak. The UK would likely be prosperous and respected on the global stage.
