@NorseLass it was a pleasure to see you again too! As always, I could happily have sat through an hour-long version of your 15 min talk

My daughter is a huge fan of the @balticmill worm, but definitely follows the 'legging it' mentality to other kids.... #nbdtp16

[Tom Spray @OwlMischief]

Grey Street being true to its name. Still, we get to hang out in the @balticmill again today. Fairly cool as workspaces go... #nbdtp16

Intrigued by @edward_caswell 's assault on the jarring visions of bronze age settlement; wide possibilities for that research... #NBDTP16

[Tom Spray @OwlMischief]

Odd to have known many of these speakers for years and finally be finding out about their research. This should be v. interesting #NBDTP16

Was Monty Python's anticlimactic ending the best modern tribute to the Old French & Middle English Romance grail legend? #LateSummerLectures
