Yesterday was my last day in this amazing place! King's Manor has been very special to me for a long time. The last five years here have been inspiring, challenging, full of wonderful colleagues, friends, and brilliant students. Sad to be leaving, but new adventures are imminent!

@AndyNeedhamArch and I had such a brilliant time hosting this event for @YorkFestofIdeas! Thank you to all our attendees for coming to sit, reflect, craft, chat, and ask questions. The fire was cosy, the birds were calling, time stood still, and we didn't even notice the rain!

[Dr Amy-Jane Beer (now on Insta/Bluesky) @AmyJaneBeer]

Today I spent three wonderful hours in the long ago and I made real stuff. Delighted with my shale pendant, amber bead, and wobbly pot. All is well, as long as someone else was catching dinner. Thanks so much @MesoPip @AndyNeedhamArch @YEARCentre @YorkFestofIdeas

[Unravelling Palaeolithic 2026 @UnravelPalaeo]

@AmyJaneBeer @AndyNeedhamArch @YEARCentre @YorkFestofIdeas Thank you for coming! It was wonderful to spend time with you and all the other lovely people that came to the workshops, thinking about past and present connections to people, places, pots, pendants, and pyrotechnology!
